It's a BOY!!!
Today we went in for our first Prenatal Specialist apt. with Dr. Allen and everything with the baby looks great/healthy. We just have to go back early January to get a better look at the heart. The baby was snugly tucked away so the Dr. couldn't see the chambers and valves as clearly as desired...
They estimate a weight of about 12 oz. today (average weight around this time is about 8 1/2 oz). Dr. Allen made a comment that maybe this ones little head won't be as big as Liam's (32 cm in diameter), although he did reiterate what the ultrasound technician mentioned - that the second baby is typically larger than the first (YIKES)!!!
We are getting more and more excited as each day passes. We plan to have big bro and baby in the nursery together (baby in the bassinet in our room for the first few months) big bro will get to graduate to a twin bed with rails!!! Also, big bro points to my tummy when we ask him where the baby is!!!
See below for a medical overview of our baby's development...
How the baby's growing:
Your baby's sensory development is exploding! The brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that he/she may be able to hear your voice now, so don't be shy about reading aloud, talking to him/her, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes you.
Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces and measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the size of a large heirloom tomato. The arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of the body now. The kidneys continue to make urine and the hair on his/her scalp is sprouting. A waxy protective coating called the vernix caseosa is forming on the skin to prevent it from pickling in the amniotic fluid.
So AMAZING!!!
