Back in Washington

Well Conner survived his first trip in belly on an airplane! We flew from Germany to Copenhagen and then Copenhagen to Seatac. We made it safely and just fine! Just tired from the long flight!

The day before our traveling day we had another baby appointment. Blood drawn at the end, I didn't even ask to lay down and I did just fine. It ended up being all bruised though the next day and still is a little now! 19 weeks exactly at the appointment! He is estimated to be about 6 inches crown to rump (head to butt) and about 3-4 inches in leg length. His weight estimate is about 11 ounces (my baby books say 7 ounces is average for 19 weeks). So hopefully he isn't too big of a baby! =) He does not have a cleft upper lip as told by the doctor and was definitely confirmed that he is a boy! We got to see up close into the 4 chambers of his heard. He was being a little difficult boy though. Just when we would get a glimpse of his face or side profile he would turn away. So this can only be seen in our little video clips. Our doctor made me a DVD with 7 little clips. I can't attach them on here or I would. At one point we sort of saw a cute little shot of his nose on the ultrasound. I have an appointment scheduled for January 8th back in Germany and will most likely schedule one for the beginning of December at Madigan. I hope my mom feels up to going with me! I think it would be special for grandma to get to see her youngest grandchild in tummy! =)

This is showing our little guy is a boy for sure again!

This one is hard to explain unless I can physically point things out, but there is his ear, back of his head and his hand. His hands were always up by his head. Cute little guy!

He's a moving little boy!

So I can feel Conner moving! Not all the time, mainly at night, but it is so cool! Two nights ago I was pushing on my stomach since he seemed so active, hoping I could feel him externally. I felt him once, only once but it was so cool! I know it is only the beginning, but the first little signs are so exciting!

I ordered the stroller and car seat from the furniture store. We ordered it in the sage and taupe pattern you can see in the picture. Graco seems to be popular and reliable. The infant snugride car seats seem to have safe ratings as well. So I should look forward to having many of the larger items out of the way when I return from my visit back home!
