18 WEEKS...

Today was my 18 week - level 2 ultrasound with a specialist to measure the anatomy of the baby. I had to go alone because Paul left yesterday for training in West Virginia. It was weird being at the doctor without him. At my appointments I always notice that most women are by themselves, so I feel very fortunate to have such a supportive husband.
During the ultrasound, Payson was doing what he always does..... sleeping in a ball. He loves to curl up and cross him feet at the ankles, making it very hard to measure all of his parts. But after some poking at my belly, he finally moved around enough to get all of his measurements except his heart. They told me his heartrate was 147 bpm and that he weighs 10oz., which is perfect and right where he should be. I have to go back in 4 weeks to look at his heart and the placenta again, plus I have a regular doctors appointment on wednesday.
Enjoy the pictures below!
