Level 2 sonogram

We had a Level 2 Sonogram today, which was a new experience for us.  The doctor was able to check for neural tube disorders and other possible problems.  Thankfully, he said, "The baby looks perfect."
We did not find out the sex of the baby.  We both thought we saw "parts," although I thought I saw girl parts and Jeremy thought he saw boy parts.  Obviously we don't have a clue how to read a sonogram!
The Level 2 sonogram was much clearer than previous sonograms we've had, which was pretty amazing.  We got to see the baby's blood pumping through the 4 chambers of the heart, blood flowing through the umbilical cord, and all kinds of other things!  It was pretty incredible.
Baby's heartrate was 158 at the time, and we measured 19 weeks and 3 days on Friday.  Technically, that would put us a few days earlier than the October 15 due date, so maybe we'll actually come close to it.

HCJ

Friday, May 14, 2004 - Yesterday was our 4-year wedding anniversary!  I am so blessed to have a wonderful husband!
Jeremy let me go see Harry Connick Jr. in concert on our anniversary!  My friend Lori came over from Indiana, because we have always said we would go see Harry together when we got the chance.  (We've been trying to make it happen for several years!)  Harry and his band put on a fantastic concert!!  Lori and I were like silly jr. high girls; we were so excited.  The only bad thing was that when we got there, our seats were double-booked!  Ticketmaster screwed up royally and double-booked a whole bunch of seats!  We spent probably almost the first half hour of the concert trying to find empty seats and repeatedly being kicked out of them when people got there to claim them.  We ended up in the 7th row, which was actually 4 rows closer than our original seats, so that was good.  It was a great concert nonetheless, and I was so thankful to get to go!
