Bubbles or Bubba?

Today we went for the "big" ultrasound that measures the baby's organs, limbs, brain, head, torso, etc. to make sure everything is healthy and growing on track. It's also the ultrasound where we get to find out the gender of the baby. :-)

So... here's the good news and the bad news:

Good news - Bubbles is healthy and measuring right on track! :-)

Bad news - The cord was between the legs the whole time so we didn't get to find out if it's a boy or girl! :-(

More good news - We have another u/s on 11/10 so we should be able to find out then! :-)

Here's some pictures:

Profile shot - The head is on the right, belly on the left.

Katie looked at this and said "Why does Bubbles have a dog nose?" LOL

Full body profile shot.
Can you see the knees bend up on the left?

Another full body profile shot. This is our favorite because he/she looks like he's just chillin' out in there. You can see the legs bent up at the knees and the feet. So cute!

The scary shot, looking down on the baby's face.

Good News!

This morning I went for an ultrasound that is part of a new series of testing to check for birth defects. I'm happy to report that the baby is measuring perfectly and everything looks great!

I haven't had a chance to scan these yet, only to take pics with my camera so they're not the greatest but here they are none-the-less...

Head at top, feet at bottom

This will probably mean nothing to most reading, but the nuchal fold measured between 1.6 and 2.1, which is a great measurement and right on track. Bubbles measured at 13weeks, 2 days. That's about 6 days further along than the 3/10 due date my Doctor gave us.

When the tech turned on the ultrasound, the first thing we saw was a profile with the baby sucking or playing with it's finger. It was SO darn cute, but she didn't give me a picture of that, :-(. Then the baby did a complete flip and we went from looking at the head to seeing the legs and butt (too early to tell if it is a girl or boy). The past few days I've been thinking I might be feeling some movement but haven't been sure. I've been chalking it up to gas, LOL, but after seeing all that moving around today, maybe it is the baby that I've been feeling!
