Week 12

Published 9/6/2008

So, based on our initial scans, Dr. Tzeng is having us start seeing Dr. Samadi, the preinatal doc we saw for Parker's pregnancy. He'll take us through our genetic screenings and will also be handling the rest of our ultrasound scans. (The one bonus of having a baby after the age of 35 is that you get a ton of pictures as the doctors keep check on the baby's development.) So three weeks later, here's what's the baby looks like in 2D and 3D...

The thing I like about Dr. Samadi, aside from the fact that he's a known factor, is that he's not afraid to call the baby's "buds" arms and legs.

According to the doc, the baby's healthy. Actually, he said he was "textbook" perfect. ROCK ON! Based on his measurements, he's 12 weeks and 4 days old.

And did you notice the pronoun? Yeah, we're looking at a boy. We had a girl's name left over from Parker's pregnancy so we have some homework to work on.
