We went to the doctor's this week and got fantastic news that they baby is growing well and everything looks perfect. We got to see the brain hemispheres, the heart beating, the tiny little arms and legs and even its face. The doctor was pointing out all of these things and at first it was hard to see what he was talking about but then, we were able to better understand the ultrasound and see what he was talking about.
The picture above, for those of you who are new to ultrasounds, is a picture of the baby from the side. On the left, you can see the face, then in the middle you can see the arms and the spine and to the right, the little legs. The ultrasound tech was trying to find the best spots and the baby was being super squirmy, flailing its little arms and legs all around, which just made me laugh and then they had to go find the spot again.
Its amazing how detailed you can see a baby at this point, knowing that its only 3 inches tall and still weighs less than an ounce. I can't wait until the next time we get to do an ultrasound - so far its my favorite part!

Wow...what an imagination you have...looks like static on the tv to me. Can you believe that when we were pregnant with you, we didn't even get an ultrasound!
