The name Jackson has been on our mind for the last several weeks and Thomas happens to be Sean's younger brother's middle name. We really love the name, so hopefully it suits him well!
On Tuesday (1/27/09) I went in for a quick re-check ultrasound. As I mentioned in my last post, the tech didn't get a picture of his stomach (the actual organ) so I had to go back. It was a small inconveniece for the sweet reward of getting to see our little guy on the screen again. Everything looks normal and he had a good heart rate as well. I asked for another profile picture and a shot of his feet but he (Jackson) wouldn't really co-operate. He was kicking and punching and moving all over the place! I think he was probably excited about the breakfast I'd just eaten. :)
Today (1/28/09) we went in for our pre-natal visit and everything seems to be going just fine. We heard the heart beat and the doctor measured my belly and said I'm growing right on schedule. I've gained 12 pounds so far and the nurse said that was really good too!
As always, here is the weekly picture of my growing belly. My skin is now stretching tighter across my bellybutton which is making it flatten out. It's a really minor detail, but when you don't recognize your own bellybutton you feel pretty weird! Sean keeps saying, just wait until it pops out in the other direction!
Can't wait to meet you Jackson! Keep on growing!
Holy smokes! This is so amazing!
