Connor's room thus far...

Shhhhhhhhh!!! Little Piggy is sleeping!


Thank you Grandma (Casey) for his bedding!


Ron said there couldn't be more Razorback decor/stuff than Green Bay Packers... Hahahaha! He's so funny! I found red and navy storage bins at Target and they have strips inside that match his bedding perfect. Kid must be organized.


Thank you Meme (Dixon) for his curtains!

20 week ultrasound

We had our 20 week ultrasound on 10/22/10. We were suppose to have a fetal echocardiogram, but Connor would not show us his face or heart so we will go back at 22 weeks and try again. His organs looked good. He had fluid in his stomach which means he is swallowing water and fluid in his bladder which means his kidneys are working. He has two kidneys. His heart rate was good and the best news of all was he grew into his neck! It finally measured normal!











They said the cord was in his face in this one...I sure hope that is what that is!




Hopefully in two weeks he'll show is face better!

12 week ultrasound - NT Scan

This ultrasound (8/24/10) was to test for Downs Syndrome. The fluid between his neck bone and skin was too thick, which put him at high risk for downs. I had amniotic fluid taken two weeks later at 14 weeks and his chromosomes were normal. Only 46 and this is how they knew he was 100% BOY! I'm not going to go into details, but let's just say waiting for the results was a nightmare! Longest ten days of our lives. We are still not out of the water yet, as they now believe the neck thickness could be a heart or organ problem.







He wouldn't turn and show us his face! Shy...wonder who he gets that from? Not me!

Second ultrasound - 7 weeks

All is good!! Heart rate has gone up to 133 bpm, which is what we wanted. Amazing how much they grow in one week!

First ultrasound - 6 weeks

Our first doctor appointment and ultrasound was on 7/20/10 at Women's Care of Alaska (Dr. Wynd Counts). Everything was perfect, except for the heart rate of 115 bpm was somewhat slow. We scheduled an ultrasound the following week just to make sure it is going up. Due date is 3/10/11, but could change after the 20 week ultrasound.

Blast from the past...

The photos below are of Ron and I at about one year old. We are both curious as to who 'Sweet Pea' will look more like or be a combo of both.
