Baby Boy and "Big" Boy...

We had the best ultrasound yesterday! We had to go get baby #2 checked out again because during the first ultrasound they weren't able to see a part of his heart. So, lucky us, we got to go see him again! He was in a great position for us to see him, his heart and everything else looked great (he definitely enjoyed showing off his manhood again), and the ultrasound tech even switched her machine over to 3-D so that we could get some great pictures of him! These are so amazing to me - I was totally tearing up in the ultrasound room! Isn't he just adorable?? I cannot wait to snuggle with him.

That big circle on his forehead is the reflection of the ultrasound or something. In the second picture his little hand is up by his nose. :)

Here's a picture of him in 2-D. This is a side profile shot, and while we were looking at him move around he had a really big yawn! The tech managed to snap a picture of it right at that moment. Can you see his mouth open wide? Thanks, Rocky, for letting me use your scanner to post these!

Here are some pictures of our out-of-the-womb baby... or maybe we should start calling him our "big" boy! It is so difficult to get a good picture of him nowadays because he is always on the move and will not sit still and pose for me! Here's a few times I managed to get some decent ones...


He loves his buddy, Hank...



And he loves this big exercise ball...



It's funny... my friend Andrea has mentioned several times on her blog that when she takes certain pictures of her boys they look so grown-up to her and it makes her a little sad. I totally feel that way about these pictures I just posted - like he's growing up too fast! In some ways he seems so much like my little baby, but then in others he's just like a little boy. Oh, and for the record, I think we may have some words being said in addition to "Mommy"... tractor, water, hot, what's that, dryer, dog, and airplane (although dog and airplane don't sound anything like they should, so maybe they don't count). He still won't say "Daddy", though... poor Phil!

Looks like we'll have another beautiful baby boy in the family! Isn't technology wonderful?! I think he is going to look like his big brother....

Both your boys are precious! Don't you love those 3D ultrasounds? We've had them with both our boys and they are AMAZING! They BOTH came out looking just like those pictures. It's truly jaw-dropping when you see them like that!
Glad you got a double whammy of ultrasounds! FUN!

I think that is the best 3D ultrasound I have seen! It is so clear and you can really SEE the little guy. Can't wait to meet him!

Wow that 3D ultra sound is AMAZING! I bet this was a fun way for all of you to 'meet' the new little addition.

Heather-"Baby boy" looks adorable! It makes me want another one (someday). We never had a 3D ultrasound. I can't believe how detailed it is.
