Konor's 20 Week Appointment

Posted by KB

Baby Broyles’ name is Konor Todd. . .for now. We’ve been calling him that for awhile now so I think it will stick but who knows? Using Todd for a middle name is somewhat of a family tradition -- Richard is Todd’s middle name and his Dad’s first name – same goes for his Grandpa and Dad – you get the idea.

March 31st was my 20 week doctor’s appointment. They did a thorough anatomy ultrasound – it was soooo cool. Todd and I got to see the different sections of his brain, all four chambers of his beating heart, urine in his tiny bladder (kidneys are working), diaphragm, arms, legs, hands, feet, nose, lips. . .it was amazing. They also confirmed once again that he is a boy – he is definitely not shy when it comes to that.

The first ultrasound picture is a profile of his face. He had his feet up by his head the entire time. So yes, that is a foot at the top of the scan. The second picture is a perfect picture of his nose and lips in the center of the scan. You can see his nostrils on the left and his perfect lips just below. They were checking for a cleft lip but the detail is awesome. You’d think it was a 3-D ultrasound.

We took this picture the following weekend on Easter Sunday.

I remembered wearing this shirt on Easter two years ago with Kloe.
