I Saw My Son

Tobias Edward at 35 weeks 6 days

 I saw my son yesterday and I couldn't have been happier!  He is getting big, the doctors are approximating his weight at 6 lbs. 15 oz!  His head is bigger than most babies, but he gets that from me.  The picture is above, unfortunately the sonogram technician we had this time was less focused on 4D and more focused on measurements.  That is okay, because that is what we were there for.  We have another sonogram scheduled in 2 weeks at 7 AM so I can still go and see him, that is if he isn't born by then.

Above is a picture of Ashley at this stage in the pregnancy.  Not much has changed since last week, but she is eating a lot healthier.  I have been trying to feed her as many nutrients and proteins as I can.  She doesn't mind the attention, don't let her fool you.  We have been so excited, it seems like Tobias is all we ever talk about.  She has the same patience I do and she just wants to meet our son

I hope you all enjoy the pictures and I would love to hear from you in the comments section below.

Big Day Tomorrow!

"Pregnant and I Know It"

I saw this video on YouTube and sent it to Ashley a few days ago, she loves the video and it cracks her up.  Tomorrow is the big day, it is Ashley's 36 week appointment.  This is the last time we will see baby Tobias before he is born.  It is also the mark of the last month of pregnancy.  

Basically, they will be measuring the baby to see how big he is tomorrow.  They will also be doing a sonogram and taking mommy's vitals.  I am really glad that I am able to go to this appointment and I am so excited I can barely contain myself!

18 Week Sonogram

Our little Tobias...

 

This sonogram was very special, because it was the day we found out our little baby is a boy.  I had a few tears of joy and Ashley did as well. At that point we officially decided to name him Tobias Edward Thornton.  I probably called every person in my phone contacts whether it was someone I talk to or not.

Very Special Appointment

Yesterday was a very special appointment for a few reasons.  Ashley went through a Glucose test, which we will receive the results of within a few days.  We got to see our baby boy again, it seems like it has been too long since I have had the chance to see him.

What made the appointment really special is that Judy, Ashley's grandmother, was able to come to the appointment and see the sonogram.  Just a little background, Ashley's grandparents raised her from a child and she looks at them like her parents.  Ashley's grandmother (Judy) was never able to have kids of her own, so we found it only fitting to let her be involved in the process of Ashley's pregnancy.

Judy had quite a few questions for the ultrasound technician, which is quite usual for Judy, but that's why we love her!  Just to see her expressions and interest towards the procedure was a wonderful miracle in and of itself.

The ultrasound technician offered to put the pictures on a CD for us, so that we can share them with the world.  Ashley is feeling good and is very excited about sharing the sonogram pictures as well.

Very Excited!

Today is a very big day for us, we have an appointment today to check on a couple of things.  Ashley will be taking a Glucose test today and also they will be giving her a shot to prevent RH Incompatibility.  At the end of the appointment they will be performing a sonogram.  I love to see the sonograms and I wouldn't miss them for the world!  Luckily I work for a company that allows me to take off work for these sorts of things. 

Sorry for the short post, I have a lot more work to do in a short period of time since I am leaving early today.  I will keep you all updated!

I figured it might be nice to post some sonograms.  I will post a new one every few days until I have posted them all.
