Hello all! We went in for our 20 week appointment today. We had hoped to find out the gender. However, our little one was facing away from the wand, toward my back. The ultrasound technician couldn't even guess! I'm hoping to make another appointment soon, but if not, we'll have to wait for a few weeks.
In the meantime, we were happy to find out that the baby's anatomy looks perfect - brain, heart, bone length, etc. No worries for this mama-to-be!
The baby is about 12 oz., and the heart rate was 144 bpm. We're right on track.
While the baby's gender remains a mystery, his/her cuteness is undeniable!

| Profile picture: The baby is looking up and to the right. You can see a little hand to the right of the face, and a little foot, even further to the right. |
 |
| Profile Picture 2: This shot is a bit closer. Here, you can more easily make out an ear, little nub nose, and fingers. The foot is at the very far right. |
 |
| Spine picture: Here, the baby is looking down, and the spine is quite visible along the top of the picture, leading up to the face on the left, bottom of the screen. |
 |
| Spine picture 2: The baby is a bit more stretched out in this one. He/she moved around a bit during the ultrasound, which was exceptionally fun to watch. |
Oh my goodness! I don't care if it's a niece or a nephew, it's a beautiful little baby!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOn a related note, it's probably a girl. I hear boys don't mind showing off...if you know what I mean. ;)
