Landon Jr.


Landon and I went to my ultrasound yesterday and found out that we're having a boy! We were really surprised - we were both guessing it was a girl. We're so excited and glad to be finally able to call the baby 'he' instead of he/she/it. The ultrasound was about 45 minutes long. They identified and measured many body parts. Everything was there and looked great. I was especially happy to see and count arms, legs, fingers, and toes. He weighs 9 ounces and is probably around 6 inches (crown to rump). We saw him opening his little lips to drink the amniotic fluid. We also saw him sucking his thumb with his jaw going up and down. It was so cute! He's measuring in age what we expected, so May 14th is still the due date. Our doctor said we should really expect a range since only 5% of babies are born on their due dates. That range is two weeks before to two weeks after. So he'll definitely be born sometime in May! The picture is a profile shot of his head on the right, and belly on the left.

He's so cute! It looks like he has a lot of dark hair already--did they say anything about that? Maybe it's too early and just a shadow.

Bobby is SO excited to have a boy cousin near us! I think he might even share his legos....
