New Addition

Today we got to see the newest member of the family. However, he or she was not being cooperative. The baby put its hands over it's face for most of the ultrasound making it hard to get a clear shot. Because everything is going so well and normal (thank God!) we will not get another chance to see the newest Stecher until September when it's due.

It was great to get a chance to finally see what's going on inside. Travis was quite taken and this baby already has it's dad wrapped around it's finger! :) Misty had a hard time "seeing" the pictures but after the 4D was turned on things became much clearer! Keep in mind we are only 22 weeks and the baby only weights 1lb. 2 oz.

This is a back shot of the baby. You can see the back, the ribs, the right leg with some meat on it already! The arm and fist are pulled up toward the baby's ear.


This is a front shot and the best shot we could get of the little stinker! You can see the babies right hand is up toward it's ear and the left is covering it's left eye. You can make out the nose and the mouth is slightly open....probably trying to talk already (that's a Vancil trait! :) The cord like thing is NOT a male anatomy part...it's the umbilical cord and it's not near the head it's actually floating above the baby it just looks like it's near the head because of the angle of the shot. You can see the big belly (another Vancil trait) and the chubby thigh (Travis says a Stecher trait.) I think this picture looks like the baby has hair and Travis' hairline and jaw.

Our opinions differ....I still think a boy, Trav still thinks a girl, but I think Travis is beginning to be swayed each time he looks at the photos.

What do you think?

We think whatever "it" is, it's in for a whole lot of lovin'.

Thanks for sharing.

Very, very sweet! I'll vote boy, but I was sure Tyler was a girl so my vote shouldn't count for much. :) Congrats on everything looking healthy and being halfway through pregnancy!

I can't believe you are already more than halfway through! I'm guessing a girl, but it is just a complete guess. Your ultrasound pictures are awesome. You can see so much! Hope to talk to you soon!
