Our Little Chunky Monkey :)

We just got done with our 2nd genetic ultrasound which was so much fun! Brayden is growing and thriving and is right on track! Everything is normal and healthy!! His heartbeat was 158 bpm which was great, and we got to listen to his heartbeat, to the amniotic fluid, and to the umbilical cord too :)! It was so cute, because everytime we would be listening, we would hear a loud THUD and Brayden would kick during it :)! Our active little boy! Another cute thing, is when we were looking at him on the screen, we got to see him yawn :), too precious for words!
Another thing that no one can deny is that we're feeding him well ;)! Our little man is quite the chunk! Average weight at this stage in pregnancy is around 2 1/2 pounds, and Brayden weighs 3.1!!!! I'll talk to our normal Dr. next week about it just to make sure I dont need to do anything special but our perinatologist didn't say anything bad about it! He's just a big boy :)!

We got a few pictures of his face, two regular ones and one profile one! You can see his cute chubby cheeks and we think he is starting to look like his daddy! I think he just might have his Daddy's nose, yay! It's hard to tell in the u/s photos but easier to tell when we were watching the u/s being done! We shall see!!!
Unfortunately our little man didnt want to move around and help out the technician today, and we weren't able to get a 3d picture! His face was apparently pushed up against the placenta and that made them unable to do it! We have another followup appt in 4 weeks, so hopefully we'll get some good ones then!

Thanks to everyone for all your prayers, please keep them coming!
