A visit with "Baby Bean"

I had my "big" ultrasound this morning, and everything went well!  It is so nice to have such an uneventful pregnancy.  I have basically been having no symptoms (other than a round belly and lots of kicking!) lately.  We got to see lots of baby, of course, and every single thing was perfect.  The u/s tech was so nice - she just kept saying how "beautiful" every little thing was.  His head is so low down, and he was pretty chill in there - not moving a ton.  What a difference from Grady who was bouncing around in there for all 3 ultrasounds!  This guy has been just relaxing or sleeping in all 3.  Maybe he will be a more mellow kid ;)  So because of the way he was positioned and because he wasn't moving a lot, she couldn't see all of the parts of the brain that she needed to check.  So they made me go drink a Coke and come back in to the u/s room, in hopes that would get the little guy moving.  Well he did turn, they saw what they needed, and I got some better face shots. 

Oh, and he weighed 13 ounces - 10 ounces is average, so he's doing great!

Big Bro Grady came along and was so very excited.  He was yelling "Baby!  Baby!" and jumping up and down.   Grady's name for the baby is "Baby Bean", so that is basically how we have been referring to him as well.

I am buying the nursery furniture this week and the bedding has been ordered and is on its way!  Now if we could just figure out a name...
