Peanut's First Home Videos!

Today I had an awesome surprise where I took my parenting classes! A woman that volunteers there is working towards her ultrasound certification and was offering free ultrasounds! I finally got to capture my Peanut on film. He is 21 weeks old in the videos (in utero time, that is) and we managed draw the conclusion Peanut is without a doubt a boy! There are also some very cute clips of in utero thumb sucking. Yum!

 

Peanut at 17 weeks - He's a BOY!

I had another prenatal appointment right at 17 weeks and had an anatomy scan done, which is not specifically for the gender telling. Anatomy scans are to make sure their arms, legs, brains, organs, etc. are developing healthy. Anyway, IT'S A BOY!! At least the ultrasound tech was 80% sure. She didn't want to confirm because most for sure confirmations are after 20 weeks. Doc says he's still looking healthy and all is well! Here are some new pictures of him:

Peanut's gotten so big! Looks like he's stretching :)

My what a pretty spine you have, little Peanut!

 

Peanut's noggin and if you look closely, his hands!

Peanut's 16 Week Development

Okay, I'm sorry to say I have no pictures for this update but I do have a developmental update! Yay!

"Over the past three weeks your magical-gro baby has managed to add on yet another 2 full inches of length (totaling about 4.5 inches) and now weighs a whopping 3.5 ounces! Guess what? Your little lollipop is not so bobble-headed anymore! Yep, your baby's head-to-body ratio is starting to even out, as the rest of their body - including their arms and legs (the better to kick you with!) plays catch-up."
