Week 25

My tummy is getting pretty big!  Things are going well in the 25th week.  I'm feeling more and more movements from the baby and I can even see him/her moving around in there.  Our next appointment at the maternity clinic is over spring break.  I am almost finished the second trimester.

Start of week 22

We are just over the half way mark and the baby is now making all kinds of movements. He or she now weighs a whopping 1 pound and measures nearly eight inches long. If you have any good names, feel free to leave them as a comment on this page.

Baby Lafleur's first pictures

We went for our ultrasound today and came home with some really good pictures.  It was amazing how much detail we could see on the monitor.  He/She seems to have big feet!  We saw the heart beating and the spine.  Everything looks healthy to us.  A report is now sent to the maternity clinic and we will get their professional opinion at our next appointment.  Above is a picture of our baby's feet.

Here is a nice side view of the head.  I think it has my nose and Spencer's chin!

This one is kind of blurry, but it is the head and body.

Here is a side view of the head, the body, and the fists.

Beginning of Month 5

We had our first visit at the maternity clinic at the start of January.  The doctors there seem very nice.  We heard the baby's heartbeat again and it was very exciting!  We get the first ultrasound of our baby on January 27th.  Our baby is 6 inches long and weighs 8.5 ounces.  Soon Ali should be able to feel the baby move.
