20 Week Ultrasound

OK, so I'm actually 21 weeks, but had an ultrasound today. Dr. checked head dimentions, etc. and major organs. We could see all four chambers of the heart pumping away, arteries, veins, kidneys, the stomach as well as eyes, ears, mouth and nose. We watched the baby opening and closing its mouth and moving its legs and arms. Overall, everything looks great and no problems were detected. She said the baby has a 'really nice heart' which is good, and a narrow/small head (which I happen to think is good). The placenta is in the back, which is why I'm able to feel so much movement, and isn't low so all is well.

In other news, my cousin Andy and his wife had a little boy on Saturday, Eli William! Jeff and I have been very focused on baby activities. We picked out some names, registered, chose two shower dates, and picked up the dresser/changing table. We've also been enjoying the string of 60 degree weather!

The pictures don't look that good, but we're happy to know everything is normal at this point!

This is a somewhat creepy 3D image of baby, face and chest.

Front view of the face, legs are scrunched up on the far right.

Foot (top, middle)!

The dark, butterfly shaped thing in the center of the circle is the heart.

Isn't this a nice looking brain?

And look at that femur bone...It's the long straight thing at the very top, middle.

OK, enough for now.
