Ultrasound

Baby's face looking right at you with the forehead (looks like a large black spot) at the left side of the pic. You can see two black eyes, the nose and chin. A fist is at the top of the pic.
Baby's legs from a front view with baby lying on his side. The abdomen is at the left of the pic and feet (which are upturned) are at the far right of pic. You can see two large knees in the center of the pic.
Baby's legs at a slightly different view. The feet are at the left side of pic. The lower leg is more straight and the top leg is slightly bent.
Baby's profile looking up. You can see the forehead, one eye (black spot), a pointy nose and mouth.
Another profile pic. The head looks much bigger and you can't see the nose and mouth as well.

You can click on the pictures to see them larger. It was very exciting to see the baby moving around. I could feel it sometimes as I was seeing it. We saw the baby do a total flip and move hands and feet. We also saw the baby scratch my placenta which was actually really cute. We could see the bottom of the feet and toes really well. We saw the heart beating too. The technician pointed out the boy parts to us twice, but I couldn't really tell. She said that she was pretty sure the baby is a boy, but that it's not 100%. Right now the names we like are Alexander Charles or Brian Charles (after Brian, but we would call the baby Charles). We will probably wait until the baby gets here to make up our minds.

So, this while my sister is pregnant thing has bit very distant and quasi unreal for me. Seeing as i live so far away.

After looking at these pictures of you pregnant and seeing the ultrasound, it is hard to believe that this is the same person i fought over a broom with. When did we grow up and become adults?

Wow, thanks for making me cry at work. :)

Note to self, wait till i get home to check out the latest pictures.

I am sure you will be a wonderful mom.
