Here are a couple of our ultrasound photos from the last two ultrasounds we have had. I know these are hard to read sometimes, so I will do my best to walk you through it.
First of all, the darker photos (with a black background, rather than dark brown) are from March 4th (16 weeks along). The lighter photos, with more of a brownish color to them are from this past Monday, April 3rd (21 weeks).
Looking at the March photos (darker ones), we have a picture of the baby's face. It's not at all a flattering picture of the baby, and I'm pretty sure the finished product will be loads cuter! On the up side, you can see the brain segments- and breathtaking bone structure! ;-P Ha ha.
The other shot in March is also a little scary looking. This is kind of a profile view of most the body, showing the baby's spine.
The pictures we got this past Monday weren't as good. Most of them just look like blobs and you can't tell what the heck they are, so I just put the two clearest pictures up here. The baby was already too big to fit on one screen too, so that might have attributed to the low quality photos.
One shot is of the baby's hand up by the head, which is probably pretty obvious.
The other shot is the bottom's of the baby's feet. The baby was lounging with legs crossed at the ankles when this one was taken.
It's been really hard for me to type this up and not let the gender slip, but I think I made it through!
We are getting more excited by the day and can't wait to meet our baby!
An update on my friend Sherri: She didn't have the baby yesterday (whew!). The doctors have said the baby is healthy and doesn't need to be delivered yet. She will be having a lot more ultrasounds in the remaining weeks, but that's a small price to pay to avoid a premie. Even though we are anxious to meet her, we are all very relieved that this little girl is getting more time to grow before meeting the world. Thank you, everyone, for your thoughts and prayers!
Have a great weekend!
