2 Weeks?

Baby Norton is due in 29 days!!!!  

As of today, I started weekly appointments.   I have already started to dilate.  (Wait, this is suddenly kind of scary)  The doctor mentioned that we could be proud new parents within the next couple of weeks.  

I got hooked up on a monitor today for 15 minutes to record the baby's heart rate, his movement and contractions.  All seems to be well.

The most amazing thing was today's ultrasound.   We actually got a glimpse of the baby's facial features.  We could see his eyes, nose and lips as though he were looking right at us.  The radiologist even mentioned that he has a head of hair.  We saw his clenched little fists (fingers and all) that were tucked up right near his face and we could see each little toe on his feet.  Oh no!  It appears he may have Jeff's horrible feet!  (Sorry, Little Guy!)

The technician actually spent a lot of time looking at the baby for us - unlike that last experience with the Ultrasound Nazi.  Here is a picture of the baby's face.  Not quite as impressive as it was in person.  The ultrasound picked up a lot more shadows than what we could see on the screen - - but you'll get the idea.  

I'm very much looking forward to my baby shower.  Can't wait to see everyone!
