Ultrasound

Our ultrasound yesterday went well despite an uncooperative star. He or she did not want to be photographed (even with me doing jumping jacks) from the front but we saw a cute view of the butt cheeks and many other parts. It's pretty amazing the level of detail they can see, from different structures in the brain, to all the parts of the heart. They checked the hard palate and jaw, as well as measured all the bones (the foot is one inch). He or she weighs nine ounces which accounts for most of my nine pounds of weight gain. :-) Everything looked great with the baby. I'll have another ultrasound at 28 weeks to check growth. The big question remains unanswered...
