We had our 2nd ultrasound in Iowa City on Sept 8th. I had 2 doctors come in this time and they were both great. They didn't ask me the same questions a hundred times and never argued with me, just listened quickly (they must have actually read my file!) and told me to keep seeing my OB every 2 weeks and come back in 5 weeks for another ultrasound. His heart rate was great and everything looked good. They measured his growth, which is the 2nd biggest thing we're watching after his heart. He was measuring at 1 lb 14oz (of course they can be wrong, they told us Tucker would be 6lbs 4 oz and he was only 5 lbs 13 oz) but that's in the 44th percentile for the 26th week. So, even if he's a little smaller than that, we're doing great. Tucker's still in the "less than 3rd" percentile so his little brother might be bigger than him! I asked the tech if we could
see that he was a boy. The other ultrasounds we've had they tech's always say quickly, yup a boy, and then move on. So, she looked around and we both said "OK, definitely a boy", there was no doubt. I guess neither of our boys were shy about letting us know that! He was moving around a TON, so we didn't get very good pictures this time, but you can still see some more details forming on his little body! Those tiny toes! The first picture is so blury because he's waving his arm around! I'll contine to keep everyone updated, but for now, we're doing great!
