I took this picture via iPhone yesterday. Aren't they sweet?
It reminded me of one of my first favorite pictures of them together.

Bennett at 30 weeks!
I had a routine Ob appointment this morning. She had told me previously that she wanted to do an ultrasound at this appointment, as I have fluctuated from measuring right on to measuring several weeks ahead.
I had asked my mom and sister if they wanted to come for the ultrasound today. By the time it was all said and done, the room was filled with my mom and dad, my sister, my niece and nephew, Russ, and Campbell. The sweet ultrasound tech was so gracious about all of us, and it blessed me so much to have so much family there, already loving our son.
I have had some moments lately of feeling nervous about whether or not he is still a boy. I think the fact that we didn't actual see any boy parts at our 20 week ultrasound (since we did the surprise thing), but only took the tech's word for it, I had been feeling less confident about it. Thank goodness he is still a boy. Everything else was great. Bennett looks perfect and cooperated with the tech so we could get some new pictures of him.
After the ultrasound, Russ and I saw the doctor. Bennett is already measuring 4 lbs, 1 ounce. She said he is in the 68% among his peers at the moment. She estimated that once he is full term, we would be looking at a 8 - 9 lb boy!
These aren't the best quality pictures. I scanned them in and didn't bother to fix/crop/straighten them.
Two feet and a hand. These limbs have been hanging out at the top of my stomach towards my left side. When I asked the tech what was poking me right there 23 hours out of the day, she took this picture.
Sweet face.
Bennett's "parts". Lots of confirmation that he is, in fact, still a boy. (yes, Russ was proud :)
This picture is a little hard to see, but baby boy already has a head full of fuzzy hair. In the next picture you can also see the hair on his head sticking up.
Another sweet face picture. His little nose looks like Campbell's to me (cute little turned-up nose).
I had told Campbell last night that we were going to the doctor today, explained about the ultrasound, and told her we were going to see pictures of Bennett. She responded "I don't go. I stay home". She watched the screen the whole time during the ultrasound, but clearly didn't understand what was happening.
