Super-Fat Tuesday
February 6th, 2008 | 
Author: Yesterday was Super Tuesday and Fat Tuesday, and it was 12 Weeks to Due Date Tuesday.
We celebrated by going to Lisa’s last four-week check up. It was supposed to be a simple in and out, with a glucose test thrown into the mix (she had drink this orange syrup that was a little more syrupy than orangey). After mentioning some abdominal pain and wondering if they were the elusive, but much discussed Braxton-Hicks contractions the good doctor recommended we check things out on the sonogram.
This was good news for us, since we figured we would at least get a look or two of the little guy and make sure he was doing super. Luckily for us we went into a sonogram room that had a newer machine with 4D capabilities (after a little bit of research the 4th D is for the live motion/action, sounds like a marketing gimmick, but I digress).
This thing is cool. It was a regular sonogram and then a couple button clicks and there he is – making kissy faces, drinking amniotic fluid, blinking and moving his hands around. You really have the opportunity to see what he looks like before he makes his way in a few months. He looks pretty cute and seemed to be having a good time. Here’s a pic:
They guesstimated his weight at 2lbs 12oz, which is in the 60 percentile. The next month will give us a good indication if he is going to be a big Manchee baby or regular sized baby at birth.

24 Weeks and counting
Yesterday, Lisa went in for a regular check up and she was able to get in some tummy time with the sonogram lady.
Mom (Manchee), Lisa and myself were all excited to see how our favorite little boy had been growing since we last saw him in early December when Mom (Austin) was in town.
As you can see from the above picture, he is still a boy (and according to the woman running the ultrasound, “Very much a boy!”).
Above you can see a nice profile of Baby Manchee, but what you can’t see is the full 1lb 9oz he is currently clocking in at!
Here is Baby Manchee waiving to you. Thanks for stopping by.
