hello world

Yesterday we had a follow-up ultrasound because our little buddy was not cooperating properly the first time around, and the dr didn't get a shot of everything she wanted.  So, this time I loaded up on sugar hoping he would be a little more active - but he wasn't.  I think he just gets comfortable in one spot and that is where he likes to stay.  The tech had me turning from side-to-side and kept reclining the chair so far back that my feet were almost over my head (I had to hold on for dear life) and every time I moved - baby would move right along with me.  Lets just say he is a stubborn little guy and just wants everything his way - lets hope this is not a sign of things to come.

After almost an hour of adjusting and the tech digging the wand into my ribs, she gave up and left to get the dr.  So I climbed out of my chair and started doing jumping-jacks or anything to get our buddy to move.  It was a success, and he moved just enough that the dr was able to get a shot he was happy with.  The dr then zoomed in and baby boy gave us a thumbs up letting us know that we were good to go!! 

We haven't been very good about keeping the family updated, so we thought we would add a few profile pictures of baby boy waving to everyone.

that's how kenzie was in all of her ultrasounds and we know how she turned out ;) so...you might have a stubborn one on your hands but at least you know he'll be fun and cute ;)

Steele could not have been more different than little Larkin. I started feeling him at 15 weeks and each time the Dr. tried to do the doppler to get his heart rate he moved so much that they couldn't lock on and I had to have an ultrasound every appointment because it was the only way to get his heartbeat (I have like 20 ultrasounds of him). Then when I went into pre-term I had to pass this 1 hr test and he kept kicking the sensor off place from inside. CRAZY mover he was! I am so excited for you guys! Yay for boys too!
