18 Week Ultrasound




We had our 18 week ultrasound last Thursday (January 5, 2006). During this ultrasound they measure just about every body part of the baby to check the development, look at all four chambers of the heart, check for spina bifida and a myriad of other things. Everything looks great! Our baby has ten fingers and ten toes and seems to be developing just fine. The estimate that the baby weighs about 9 ounces at this point which is right on track.

We also found out the gender. We're having a girl!!! Her name will be Katherine Carol Weber and we are very excited. The Ultrasound tech said she was very confident and showed us how she determined the gender. There was an absence of a certain male organ and three lines that will eventually be a female body part. If you want more details, give us a call and we'll explain. We're trying to keep this rated G.

We scanned a cute profile shot of Katherine although the quality isn't great. This method of getting it on the web proved the best.
