One of the unwritten benefits of being a doctor is getting to play with the toys in your office. This includes spending an hour on a Saturday afternoon looking at your baby on the ultrasound machine. Let me tell you, tons of fun. I will quickly confess that my ultrasound skills are still in early development, but I was able to catch a few shots to show off our growing little one. I will also confess that while we haven't decided if we want to find out the sex, I was definitely looking for boy or girl parts. But, like I said, I'm still learning and every time I thought I saw something it turned out to be umbilical cord. Oh well. We did see good heart beats and took some rough measurements that seemed on par for where we should be. It was fun to see little arms and legs moving around, and it looked like he/she was either sucking a thumb or playing peek-a-boo with us. Enjoy!
The head is on the bottom, with the body on top of it, kind of leaning.
Here is a side view of most of his/her body with a leg to the left.
Here's another body view with baby's chin tucked down. Good spine.
This one really didn't come out well. The black space in the middle is baby's heart beating.
Here's baby holding his/her arm up toward his/her face.
This is baby's arm and hand. We watched the hand open and close a few times like he/she knew we were watching and was waving.
