The Baby Bump is Here!

David and I are getting more and more excited about our little boy on the way. We are now in the 26th week! Our boy is jumping and moving around all over the place, it is sure fun... David got to feel him from the outside for the first time one week ago today. He is getting bigger and stronger. It is so fun!

We had an ultrasound done on Friday and we actually got to see how big our son is getting. They did all the standard measurements; the circumference of the head, the abdomen, and then the length of the femur bone (the thigh bone). When she measured the femur, she was shocked at how long it was... she told us that our boy is going to be tall, then she looked over at us and said, "Well, I can see why. You were probably expecting him to be tall." Which I guess we were... We think it is so neat how advanced technology has become. She also showed us that he has a lot of meat on him. He already has chubby legs. We also got to see the four little chambers of our baby's heart beating and working together! This is definitely an exciting time!

I loved seeing our baby on the ultrasound and hearing that she was developing well and healthy! Isn't it so fun?! My baby was 9 pounds and 8 ounces and 22 inches long. I wouldn't be surprised if yours was about the same or bigger. Good luck and don't forget to do your kegel exercises! :-)
