19 Week Dr.'s appointment

The 19 week appointment is a very important visit. As any husband who has a pregnant wife KNOWS on this visit you find out the sex of the baby. I remember thinking when Kristy was pregnant with Cayden that the purpose of this visit was strictly to find out the sex and for the Dr. to take a couple measurements.

With this visit we were going in already knowing it was boy and we quickly realized how truly important this visit actually is. Not only do they take measurements, they measure his head every which way, the belly, the femur bones, his hands, his feet,his ears, his man parts, they are even able to zoom onto his lips and nose and check for cleft lip. Now the coolest part of it, I thought, was every measurement they took would measure and display on the screen in weeks and days.

Every measurement they took read perfectly 19 weeks 2 days (we get to go in a week early), his heartbeat came in at 141 bpm. Half Way there! Half way!
