The big sonogram day!

IT'S A BOY!!! HOORAY!!!
His name will be Joshua.
He weighs around 6 ounces now.
His heart rate was 152 bpm, which is normal.
We are currently 17 weeks 3 days pregnant.
While the sonogram tech was trying to measure him he was being a little turkey and kept rolling around and stretching out and then getting into a ball. It was really neat to see him doing all of that.While she was trying to look at his brain he kept putting his hand over his head so she couldn't see it. He did not want her looking in his head! She finally was able to see it and it looks great!
When she went to look at what the sex of the baby was he was very proud to be a boy, and showed off his little boy parts plain as day! Then she turned it to another view and he was getting ready to go pee pee. You could see the water in his bladder moving around, she told me that he was getting ready to go pee, because she could see more than I could. You could also see the water in his stomach.The water in his stomach and bladder mean that he has already learned to swallow.Everything is looking and measuring good. Everything is right on schedule, and my due date is the same. December 24, 2005.After that appointment I went to see Dr. Hoffman(my OB), and everything is looking good. We got to hear his heart beat which sounded really good and strong. My Blood Pressure is running a little high, but not to worried about it yet. Also I have been really swollen in my hands and face, and sometimes my feet and ankles.The quad screen came back normal for everything, so there are no birth defects that we have to worry about.
My next scheduled appointment is August 16, 2005.
