Baby Henry

Here's an ultrasound (obviously) of baby Henry. He's attempting to push the umbilical cord out of his face. :) He kicked and moved and made the sonographer work for her money when this was taken... I'm pretty sure we're going to have our hands full once he's here.
We had a scare a few weeks ago during another ultrasound. They saw a small cyst and were concerned about his bowels. Because of this, I had bloodwork done and decided to do an amniocentisis. It was definitely NOT a comfortable experience. Having an audience in the room to observe didn't help my nervousness, either. I've already made it very clear that there will NOT be students in the delivery room when we get to that point. Anyway, at least the procedure was quick, and the results were definite. Henry is definitely a boy (which of course we knew) and his chromosomes are completely normal. They took this ultrasound yesterday just as a follow-up and everything looks great. :)

What a relief! I'm sure that was stressful. Well, you're a little over half way, you're probably still in the good phase where you're not sick ant not incredibly uncomfortable yet so live it up while you can!
