Ultrasound #2 today

I love ultrasounds - just can't get enough of them. I wish I was rich and could afford my own machine! The ultrasound went well today - little Bean was moving around like crazy (shhh...I had Kool-Aid again). It's so amazing how much he/she looks like a baby now. I look at the u/s pic from 12 weeks and I kind of giggle because we were so excited about that one. Well now....we're on Cloud 9 :)

In the picture above, You can see Little Bean's hand just as he/she is about to suck his/her thumb. The baby's head is on the left and then in the belly area you can see the ribs - they are those little white lines.

In the picture above, baby's head is to the right and his/her little arm is flat down beside the body - like a soldier standing at attention or something. You can see the little nose and lips and ear (I know - it's hard to see but when you see it 'live' it makes it easier to understand the pictures) and then you can see the belly. Baby is too big now to fit all in one shot now. And the placenta is on top of the baby. The black between the baby and the placenta is the amniotic fluid.

The next time I go to the doctor (April 10th), I will get the results from this ultrasound. Hopefully everything is ok with Little Bean! :)

Off to Chapters now to buy a Name book - after all, there are only 143 days to go until the due date. Who's counting? lol
