Ultra Sound - September 7, 2007

September 7, 2007 - 20 weeks

We had our ultra sound appointment and got to see baby rancourt up close and personal. To the right is the photo we brought home with us. You can see the little nose, lips and both hands. We were even able to count 5 toes on each little foot. See the heart beating and you can even see the little spine.

September 15th marked 21 weeks. The baby is almost 1 pound and it's size can be compared to that of a large banana. I'm feeling a lot more movement lately and Will's been able to feel it too.

I can't believe there's only 5 days until I leave for Chicago. I can't wait!

September 1, 2007 - 19 weeks
At 19 weeks baby rancourt is the length of a small zucchini and weighs about 8 1/2 ounces. The baby can now hear our voices. The most exciting thing that's happened is that I have been feeling the baby move. For a little while it was only slightly and only at night when I would lie in bed and concentrate on it. Since Friday the movements have been much more obvious and they happen all day. It's fantastic! Will hasn't been able to feel the movement yet but that should happen soon.

Now that it's September I'm getting very excited for my trip to Chicago. I haven't taken a full week off work since our honeymoon. I wish Will could come but next time. In Chicago I'll take lots of photos of Christa, Leah and my bellies. My friend Leah is coming to the shower all the way from Maine!
