Drumroll Please....

Well we finally got another look at Baby Eckern and we got some exciting news!  

It's A BOY!!!! WAHOO! :)

We are both so thrilled!  We had a feeling it was going to be a boy and it looks like most of the voters were right too!

The little fella is healthy as can be. We got to see the spine and the brain and the heart and the doctor said everything looks great! He was very active and it took a while to measure the brain cause he kept flipping over every time they were about to take a picture! :)

Here is another profile. We think he is just so cute!  I can't wait to hold him in my arms!

This one is showing his little heart beat.  His heart rate is 150 bpm which the doctor said is great:) 

Yep, there's no denying it:)

Oh baby, baby!

Okay, let's face it... We all know the only reason girls my age have blogs is so they can talk about their kids, so I might as well get started now:)

I am about 17 weeks pregnant and Baby Eckern is doing just great! Our last appointment was a few weeks ago and we got to hear the babies heartbeat. Erik literally said "aww... Cute" (it was quite a cute heartbeat) and I may or may not have cried/laughed for happiness so much that we kept having to re-find the heartbeat cause I was moving too much:) 

We also have had one ultra-sound so far. It was pretty early so the baby really just looks like a jelly bean with arms and legs but I still think it is super cute:) It might be hard to tell but the picture shows the babies head, one arm and one leg.  The doctor said the baby is very wiggly:) 

Our next doctors appointment is this Friday and we are so excited!  We are hoping to find out our babies gender so if you want to make any guesses this is your last chance:)
