I had my first official ultrasound last Friday to date the pregnancy. I was the radiologists last patient for the day, so she wasn't in a hurry, and we got to see lots of the baby. Our little peanut was squirming around all over the place! We were able to see and hear a nice strong heart beat and we got a nice clear view of the femur and the arms and feet and the facial features. It's amazing how teeny tiny the baby still is (about the size of a peach), but how completely formed and how much like a person it looks! The baby squirmed around so much the radiologist had a tough time getting the measurements, but after a while she was finally able to get it to hold still and she dated the pregnancy at 13 weeks 5 days which was 1 week and 2 days further than the dates said. I haven't seen my doctor since the ultrasound, so I'm not sure if they'll change my due date or not, but none the less, I am now 14/15 weeks. My current due date is September 20th, so this baby might actually come a lot closer to Brady's birthday (September 5th) than we thought! Nice birthday present for Brady eh?!
This shot cracks me up! The baby looks like it's kicked back chillin in a hammock! All my chub must be providing a nice comfy cushion! haha!!
Here is a nice profile shot. The head is pointing to the the left and you can see baby's abdomen and I think a little hand poking out.
This one is a little tough to make out, but here you can see baby's face pointing to the right. You can a better view of the eyes, nose and chin and a bit of baby's abdomen.
hey there, do you know what you guys are having? I think it's about that time to find out so I wanted to check in. I hope everything is going well for you!
