19 weeks...everybody's lookin' good!

**UPDATE** Since originally posting this, it has come to my attention that I said "everybody's lookin' good," however, I did not include a picture of every...body. So, in celebration of being almost halfway there and as an expression of my gratitude for not being hounded about these every week by the bump patrol (you mamas know who you are), scroll down to the bottom of this post for a little (or not-so-little) surprise. *I took these myself in my half-bathroom mirror, so PLEASE, no judging the quality of the photos or the cleanliness of that ne'er used room!!
As you all know, we got another peek at the littlest Chesser yesterday morning for the 19 week anatomy ultrasound (a.k.a. the BIG one). Although our sweet one was not interested in showing his full face for a 3D shot, he was very cooperative for everything else. He let us know that he is measuring about a week ahead (just like Henry did), he weighs approximately 11 ounces, his nose/lips are continuous, all extremities checked out just fine - 10 fingers, 10 toes, and yes, he's definitely still a boy, and lastly all of the internal organs we were looking for/at are present and functioning. Amen.

After the ultrasound, we enjoyed some BBQ and family time together to celebrate the day's many blessings. Henry's not sure what his biggest blessing of the day was, though -- a healthy brother...or a sweeeet backpack. With his latest obsession with 'bags', I thought it was high time that he had one of his own. I'd say he agreed.
We've got H's 15-month well-child appointment this week....look for his hugeness stats on Friday. Now, for the update photos...

...from the front...not sure what's going on with the shadow on this one??...my right side...So, there you are. Those may be the only official, posed ones you get this time around...I hate being in pictures these days. I personally think the best thing about these is Henry's cute blonde head hovering just at counter-height in photos #2 and #3...he's my little shadow. Have a great week, everyone!

Yaaay for belly pictures!!! And, those could not be any more adorable! My favorite is the last one with the top of precious Henry's head, haha. Thank you for including these for all of your Florida friends!

Precious. I'll be sooooooooooo sad if these are the only belly pictures...and won't the newest little man? He'll want to see himself in mommy's belly one day, right? I LOVE the belly pictures, and Henry's little head is so cute!

No worries, Karen...I'm sure my boys will be too busy lighting their farts on fire and water-ballooning houses from the greenbelt to give a rip about seeing pictures of themselves in my tummy!!

I'll take a few more just to be safe, but I have a feeling that my intuition on this is spot on.

Are you coming to town???
