Itty Bitty Baby

I had an ultrasound on Wednesday evening and the little baby was really active. It was so comforting to see the baby's legs moving around and to watch the hands move up towards to the face, almost as if the baby wanted to suck it's thumb. All of this and it's only about 2.5 inches long at this point.

Sophia saw the baby in the tv monitor right away and kept repeating "Baby" over and over to the technician and the nurse in the room. All of us were shocked that she could identify the baby on the ultrasound. Will claims that this baby looks exactly like him too! (But I think Sophia is looking more like me these days)....

We asked if they could tell us the sex of the baby, but they said it was too early to tell. We'll have to wait until the next routine ultrasound - given around 20 weeks.

I also had a doctor's appointment this week and got to hear the baby's heartrate again. It was 165 bpm this time. Last time it was 150 bpm. I have gained 1 pound so far.

The picture below is a 3D image and the baby is facing and saluting the camera. Can you see it? :-)
