Our sweet baby boy....

This a.m. we had our second level 2 ultra sound. (We had one about three weeks ago.) We weren't really sure what to expect with this appointment because it was not the regular scheduled one and they needed to check my cervix to make sure it was thick enough or if I would need a "stitch"?? (Scary enough right there!) So, as excited as I was to see Baby Ole, I was nervous because I wasn't sure if they  had seen something in the previous visit that concerned them? Last level two they also saw a "light spot" on Baby Ole's heart that they wanted to continue to just watch. So... I was nervous going into the appointment this morning.

We had a super friendly nurse who was able to do our ultra sound that showed that my cervix was "beautiful" (phew! No stitch) and that Baby Ole was:
1. Still a boy
2. Wopping 1 lb. 3 oz. 
and 
3. ALL LOOKED GOOD~! 

The doctor ,who actually watches the ultra sound from another room, joined us at the end and was very happy with how everything looked. This was a great feeling because after our last visit to him he made us a little worried with this spot on the heart. He just didn't seem very positive all was GOOD. This time we left feeling confident, happy and having answers to prayers. All is GOOD! :)

The nurse we had was great! She was so down to earth, gave us honest and probably more information than she should as a nurse. (However she did warn us that "she never said that.") We loved having an insiders view and comments to checking out baby! She did show us how they would find a clef lip and Baby Ole doesn't have that. She also said, "Want to see something cool?" -- um YEAH!!! She put the wand in one spot that showed the babies face. She said just watch this black spot, this is the eye, if the baby moves his eye you will see a disc like shape move directions.... AND WE DID! It was crazy!!!

Lastly, we left with another handful of pictures of Baby Ole! It blows my mind how this tiny little human is growing inside me. Moving his limbs and eyes, growing bigger and stronger every single day!

New due date for Baby Ole: June 19th, 2013


Our sweet baby boy's profile! :) aww Cute little nose!!!


Reassurance that we are having a BOY. This is another view from the bottom of sitting baby boy. Four arrows point to his man parts. :) 

And lastly, our flexible boy! You can see towards the bottom of the picture his profile looking up towards 2 o'clock. Body is to the right and that long strait thing going from 4 o'clock to 11 o'clock is Baby Ole's Leg! Foot is at the top of the ultra sound at 12 o'clcok. CRAZY the details they get with these ultra sounds. 
We will go back for another level two in 10 weeks. So when we are 32 weeks to check the growth of Baby Ole. Otherwise, Doctor was pleased and so are we!! :) Keep growing Strong Baby O.

yay! so happy to hear that everything is GOOD!! at our ultrasund last week they told us too that they saw a "spot" on the heart, but reassured us numerous times that it is completely normal and nothing to be concerned about at all.

now we're just two days apart - theoretically! :)

wow- what a good appointment... so exciting. It is amazing what a difference in a doctor/nurse can make as well... Love the taggies. Always wanted to try making them. Keep on sewing!
