Here's our Boy!

 The dr appointment went really well today ( besides having 5 nurses out sick therefore making my 3pm appointment become my 345pm appointment). My weight gain is "right on track" according to the doc. I hope he's not just trying to make me feel better. :)  We had our ultrasound as well. We were able to confirm that yes, his is still a boy which made Daniel feel at ease. The baby weighs 2lbs 15 oz as of today, the ultrasound put his due date at February 17th, so just a day behind. Dr. McCorcle said he thinks we'll just keep it the 16th and see what happens. As of now, the doc is pretty sure he'll be born around 7 to 7 1/2 lbs. I am very happy with that, I don't want to have a huge baby! His heartbeat was very strong 167 bpm, which is great. He is also in the head down position now and it turns out that the awful stabbing pain I have been getting for the last week or so is because he's kicking against my ribs. We were also lucky enough to see him have the hiccups and see him making some pretty funny faces. The technician "cheated" for us a little and switched the ultrasound to 3d so we actually got to see his face. It's not totally clear, but I really think that he's got Daniel's nose and I think he does look like his daddy. Here's our beautiful, sweet little man. us1210082
