We are now 26 weeks along with Carter! I can't believe how this pregnancy is flying by; it's unreal! He is growing well (if you can't tell from the pictures below!), and he is very active! I remember feeling like Dawson moved constantly when I was pregnant with him, but I think Carter may be trying to out do his big brother already. :)
At 24 weeks we got to have another ultrasound, and things still looked good! They said that he seemed to be very healthy and growing well. The ultrasound technician was amazed at how active Carter was too! At the beginning of the ultrasound he was head up and by the end he was back to his favorite head down position. It took several attempts to get a lot of the measurements of his bones because he would make big movements as she tried to freeze the frame to be able to measure.
This ultrasound was a especially meaningful because Dawson got to come!! I was so thrilled to take him with us, and we had talked about it for days leading up to the ultrasound. Dawson couldn't wait to go see his brother-he kept talking about it and asking questions leading up to the appointment. Dawson was wonderful during the entire ultrasound, and his very favorite part was getting to see Carter's face for a long time. He also liked getting to see and hear Carter's heart. Dawson is already such a great big brother to Carter!
Enjoy the pictures below...

Dawson wanted to be in one of the

Another "it's a boy" ultrasound picture.
He's obviously not very modest at all because
at every ultrasound they have been able to tell
the gender immediately!
Our sweet Carter's profile!
The things that look like bubbles above him
are actually part of the umbilical cord.
Carter's legs and ankles.
Interestingly when they took all the measurements
from the ultrasound every body part on Carter measured
a few weeks ahead...EXCEPT his legs which measured
right where they were supposed to be. So either
he's going to have short legs or his legs are about
to hit a growth spurt. I thought this was funny because
Dawson has always been in a high percentile (around the 90th)
for height.
Carter's sweet feet.
His little toes looked so long!
Another picture of his feet!
Carter's nose and lips.
Carter's face. This was the favorite
part of the ultrasound for Dawson-getting to look
at Carter's face.
