Ultrasound pictures


This is little Ryan Frederick Downes at about 21 weeks old. Just in case you can't tell, that's his profile, face up, with his hand near his forehead. Bill's quote on this picture:
I like this pic because it shows him scratching his head, pondering life's many mysteries, including..."why am I almost here?" =)
I had a Doctor's Appointment yesterday, and he said that everything is progressing along fine. The baby is in position head down and facing back, but that he hasn't dropped yet. That's good news since it means I'm not likely to go into labour anytime soon. He asked me to book an Ultrasound appointment, so we can check on the baby, and see how his size is progressing. I'm looking forward to it, because I can't wait to see my little guy again. :) Maybe it'll relieve my worries about his size. Sometimes I worry that he'll be small, since my weight gain has been small. Other times I worry he'll be big, because women in my family tend to deliver late, and to have large babies. I was over 8 lbs, my brother was almost 10 lbs, and Bill was 9 lbs when he was born. That's alot of baby to push out. :P

My appointment is scheduled for October 25th, so maybe I'll have some news and some more pictures to post then.

I'm interested in this whole experience from your point of view. I'm seeing some insights here that I would have otherwise missed out on.
