Some Baby News

Last Friday we had our ultrasound.

We marveled at modern medicine as we watched our newest family member wiggle around in utero on the screen.

Our baby's kidney function is great. Apparently they can tell this by the level of amniotic fluid present which I learned at this stage of pregnancy is actually just baby pee.

We got to see all four chambers of the heart pumping like gang-busters. According to the doctor they look great.

They were also able to tell us that our baby doesn't have a cleft palatte. Our baby has two arms and two legs and appears to be healthy in every way which I find miraculous considering everything involved in a developing fetus. My heart swells with love and I feel fiercely protective of this tiny being growing inside me.

Oh yeah, in case you're wondering...it's a boy!!!!!
