30 Week Sonogram Pictures

Last week when I saw Dr. Carey, he said he wanted to schedule one more ultrasound for me. I was so happy because I thought that I wouldn't get another one at all. My appointment wasn't until 12 this afternoon, so I went to work this morning. I love taking half days at work because with my schedule the morning time always flies by. Before I knew it, I was leaving school heading across the bridge to the doctor's office. On the way, Eli and I had a little talk. I told him that we were going to take his picture today and it would be so nice if he would cooperate and let us see his little face. He had been moving a lot that morning so I knew he was awake and active. I just hoped that his face was facing us and not the back of his head.

Josh and Sue, Josh's mom, met me at the doctor's office. This was Sue's first time to go to the doctor with me so I'm glad that she was able to come. Now both sets of grandparents have been able to see their grandbaby on a sonogram. I know both of them, my mom and dad and Sue, can't wait to hold him and love on him once he arrives. They're both super excited about finally becoming grandparents!

It didn't take very long before the ultrasound tech came to get us and she started the exam. She measured and calculated, pressed and pushed, and did a very thorough job examining Eli. She said that everything looked really good. He measured 4 days ahead of his projected due date, so that would be October 30th, but she said my original due date wouldn't change. She said that he looked like he was going to be a big baby-no surprise there. Josh and I were both healthy babies when we were born. I weighed almost 9 pounds and Josh weighed almost 8 pounds. I'm hoping that Eli's around 7 or 8 pounds when he's born. Right now he weighs 3 lbs. 8 ounces and is approximately 15 inches long. That means he's got at least 4 more pounds to put on before he's born. We were able to see and hear his little heart beating. We saw his little stomach, arms, legs, head, and we even got to see his face. She used the 4D tool and we were able to get some really good shots of his little face :) Josh was worried that he would look creepy, but he looked so peaceful, like he was just taking a nap inside his cozy little home. As you'll be able to tell from all the pictures, he wouldn't put his arm down. He kept it by his face the entire time, but we were able to get a good enough look of his face to start making comparisons. I think he's got my cheeks and nose. Josh thinks he's got my forehead, too. I'm hoping that he will have Josh's eyes, but obviously we couldn't tell now. Some of Josh's co-workers think Eli already looks like Josh. What do you think? Let us know!

Introducing....Eli (Middle Name Undecided) Wilson

He's looking at us.

Turn your head to the right and you can see his little nostrils and lips

Yes! We don't have to return anything. He's still a BOY!

19 Week Sonogram Pictures

Last time we went to the doctor our baby BOY (so fun to finally say that!) was very shy and would not let us see what he was. We didn't have a problem this time! He was more than happy to let the world know!

Catching Up...

It's been a long time since I've posted. Here's my apology to those of you who check this site regularly and have noticed there haven't been any changes. Life has been very busy lately. School ended May 23. YAY! I'll vouch that teachers need the break just as much, if not more, than students do. I'm moving into a new classroom at school, so the last couple of weeks of school were spent moving 3 years of stuff I have accumulated in my old room to my new, BIGGER classroom. I'm also the adviser of our school's yearbook and my first deadline was this past Monday. I've been spending about 4 hours a day creating layout pages and uploading pictures. To add to my growing list of things, I'm also co-director of our church's VBS, which is going GREAT, by the way; so I've been busy painting, decorating, meeting, planning, and coordinating that event. Not that I am complaining by any means about my schedule. I like to stay busy. I just wanted to let you know why the updates have not been coming regularly. VBS will be over this Friday and I don't have anything else major going on until SMACK (Summer Music Activity Camp for Kids) begins later this July, so I should be able to post more frequently. Keep your fingers crossed!

This is my catch up blog. I've got belly pictures from several weeks back that I want to post before I post any new ones. I also have a sonogram picture from when I was 15 weeks pregnant. The baby is growing so fast. November is going to get here before we know it!

We tried at the 15 week visit to see what we were having, but the baby was being modest. Today we went back for our 19 week check up and well....you'll just have to check the next post to find out!!

Sonogram Pictures

I'll post later, but I thought you might enjoy seeing some pictures of Baby Wilson. Look at how big he/she has grown in just 4 weeks!! Baby Wilson is measuring 11 weeks and 4 days. I saw Dr. Carey today and he said that my due date is probably going to be around November 4th. Only 29 more weeks to go!

Here are the first pictures of Baby Wilson. At the time of these pictures, my baby only measured half a centimeter. The baby is between the two little dots. It may be tiny but what an awesome creation by God it truly is!
