Yesterday, we went to the doctor for the big ultrasound! Bill and I were amazed as we watched our little baby move around, wave, and suck its thumb, all inside my belly! Bill was in biology nerd heaven listening to the ultrasound tech describe all of the baby's anatomy in great detail. I think she was excited to have someone who knew exactly what she was talking about, too. She looked at the spine, heart, abdomen, and lots of other things that would be indications of some problem with the baby. Everything was normal and looked great! We decided to wait and not find out the sex, but we are thrilled to know we have a healthy baby in there, and we are so excited to meet him or her in person! Currently, I am feeling that it is a boy, but I think Bill still feels like it's a girl. We got lots of great pictures, and a 15 minute DVD with the whole ultrasound. I cried through the whole thing!
This is one of the great profile shots that we got!
I think he or she is going to be tall! It looked like he or she was stretching out those long legs!
In this picture, the baby was smiling and waving at us! (At least that is my interpretation!)
And, finally, here (s)he is sucking on that thumb! Looks like we will need those pacifiers if we don't want a thumb in the mouth all the time!
