24 Weeks

We had another doctors appointment last week. We got to have another ultrasound to re-check some measurements which meant another sneak peak at our little guy! All the measurements that were re-checked looked great:) His heart rate was 141 and he is weighing in a little large at 1 lb. 15 oz. He is also measuring longer in length than expected - looks like we are going to have a big boy on our hands. There is proof too, my belly is getting really big!!

20 Week Appointment - Ultrasound

We had our 20-week ultrasound on December 29th. Everything looked great and we were able to find out right away that we are having a BOY. His heart rate was 130 beats per minute. We are both very excited and can’t wait for the arrival of Baby BOY Elhard.
