Ultrasound Pictures!!!

On Tuesday Jeff and I went to Radiology Associates of Regina for our 20 week ultrasound.  It was one of the greatest experiences of my life!  There is a real live baby in there!  Not that we're biased, but we think it is the cutest baby we've ever seen!  We were asked at the beginning if we wanted to know the sex of the baby and replied that no we did not.  I cannot stand to ruin the biggest and best surprise I'm ever going to have!  Jeff, for his part, knew this was coming and had consented long before, even though he would have been just as happy to find out. 

The sonographer kept saying what a cute nose he/she has. Baby weighs in at a healthy 13 oz. (this is a bit above average weight for how far along we are) and heartbeat was recorded at 157 bpm. Everything looks to be developing perfectly. 10 fingers, 10 toes and what she said was a beautiful brain. What an amazing experience to see. Baby was moving quite a bit and went from laying sideways to breach in the time we were there. At one point she said it was kicking away at my bladder. Not a problem yet, but down the road....

I am carrying the baby so low that she was having trouble getting a good picture of the baby's spine.  I had to keep pulling my pants lower and lower.  She got an ok shot eventually and that all looked great too.

Here are the ultrasound pictures!
