Baby Urban #2 is on the way!

This is a little late, since the news slipped out on Facebook at 7.5 weeks, but Baby Urban #2 is on it's way!!! It is due August 5, 2010- which just happens to be Grandma Dance's birthday! The doc says the chances of a baby being born on its actual due date are around 4%. We'll take it any day.

These were 12 week ultra sound pictures. We're at 13 weeks as of yesterday, so I'm a week late getting these posted.
This is the baby's profile. You can see belly, leg, foot, arm and head in this picture (s0rt of). It measured about 2.25 inches from head to rear end. So he/she is closer to 3 inches with the legs. It was moving around too much to get a more accurate measurement.

This is the cute little picture of the baby looking strait at us. He or she looks like a cute little alien! It was very active on during this ultrasound! Isn't he/she cute?

This is the head profile. I was amazed that at 12 weeks, you could see so much detail in the face! The white stripes at the bottom of the neck were what the tech was measuring. The space between those stripes can determine if the baby is at risk for downs syndrome. If the space measures over 3mm, there is a higher risk. Our little tot measuered at 1.6 mm so we were in the safe zone. But no matter what, we'll love it to pieces!
