Measurement Monday

On Monday, we had our first good look at Connor through ultrasound. The nurse took images of his feet (photo above), arms, head, spine, and femur. The images were used to take measurements that helped recalculate the due date. Our due date moved from June 14th to June 18th. All of the measurements that were taken were in the normal range, so it appears as though we will have a healthy baby boy.

One unique thing that occurred during the ultrasound was Connor's movements. He was kicking and swaying a little, but the nurse couldn't get a good image of his spine. Connor just wasn't cooperating. Tanja tried to talk him into moving, but he didn't do much. The nurse asked me to talk to Tanja's belly and see if I could get him to move. I felt a little strange, but I told Conner through my wife's belly that he had to roll over or turn so we could take his picture. He turned just enough so that the nurse could get a shot of his spine. That was amazing.
