Ultrasound
We had another ultrasound yesterday to measure the baby. I now have a new due date. Instead of September 5th, we'll be shooting for August 28th. Of course, I'm not under the delusion that my baby will actually be born on the due date. I know that is rare.
This was Cat's first time seeing the baby. His reaction was wonderful. His eyes were so wide and he looked very much like the proud papa. The baby was not quite as active as he/she was during the first ultrasound. There was a lot less spinning and a lot more kicking. Our baby likes to cross his/her legs and to kick like a little rabbit. He/she also seems more into head over feet tumbling now.
This is the profile and you can see the baby's jawbones. The ultrasound technician said it looks like the baby is trying to figure out how to get his/her thumb into his/her mouth in this shot.
And here's our baby looking like something from the Roswell videos.
Everything looks good. We even got to see the baby's heart, stomach, kidneys, and brain. At least that's what we were told. To be honest, I have a hard time figuring out what I'm looking at during an ultrasound. The only thing I recognize is the head and the flailing and kicking limbs. Even though our baby looks like he/she has no legs in these pictures, I can attest that the legs are definitely there and that they are quite active.
Our next ultrasound will be at 20 weeks and we will hopefully be able to tell what gender our baby will be.
