New Ultrasound Picture

This morning Ben and I had the privilege of getting a glimpse at Baby Koske. My weight gain is low, so the doctors wanted to ensure that baby was growing like he should. His heart beat is normally about 150-160, but today he was sleeping so it was about 128. He is a long little guy, his head under my left rib and his rump sitting at my hip bone (about 12 inches not including his legs). His stomach size was in the 40th percentile and head size in the 70th percentile. Apparently big heads run on the Ludwig male side - thanks dad!  Overall though baby looked healthy!!!
