Better late than never...

It totally slipped my mind that I had never done a post about our appointment with the Maternal Fetal Specialist last week. I was to busy last week and then when I sat down and did my other posts, I just skipped right over it! Silly me!

So Tuesday, July 20 I had my second appointment with the Specialist, and this time I got to meet the other Dr., Dr. Payne. He was super personable and spent the majority of his time cracking jokes and talking to us while he did the ultrasound. Kolby wasn't able to come to this appointment :-( , but his Mom and cousin, Jenna, were in town so they were able to join me to see our little man!

He did a full scan again, and again, I brought the wrong kind of disk, so we weren't able to record it on DVD, but Jenna recorded it on her iPhone, and so we were able to record it and put it on the computer and burn our own DVD, so YAY for technology!!! He said that the little man was looking great, he was moving all around in there! The Dr. even said that he had a cute little booty, hahaha!! I said he gets that from his momma, cause his daddy has no booty! We got some really cute pics of his little profile and a perfect picture of his feet!
He was estimated to weigh about 11 oz. (Side note: we were looking it up on Google, and the smallest baby to ever survive birth was born at 8.6 oz, so we've already passed that! Whew!!! Really you should look it up, that little baby is amazing!)

The Dr. looked again for any signs of a diaphragmatic hernia and he said that there appears to be no signs of one! It was nice to get good news from a second opinion! He looked at the umbilical cord and the blood flow from me to him and it all looks good. Oh, and apparently our little boy has no modesty because he was showing his goodies (business, as I like to call it, haha) off for the world to see. So we were all in agreement that he is for sure a little man! So I will be seen again in 4 weeks, which is mid-August! I love that I am getting to continue with these monthly ultrasounds, I just love seeing him! It is an amazing feeling every time! Here's to contiuing on with this uneventful (well, medically, at least) pregnancy, I'm so relieved that things are going as great as they have so far and I am not having to constantly worry myself sick! I hope it sticks around!
