Um, Our Baby has a Face

My 20-week appointment was Friday and all is well! Our little one has two arms and two legs, two kidneys and a liver. I think the technician also pointed out the stomach and the bladder, but I was too busy staring at the images on the screen in front of me to hear what she was actually saying.

B. was excited because he got to take pictures home; I was excited because this finally feels real. It was our baby's face that got me. Our baby is starting to look less and less like an alien and more and more like a human. Eek!

Beefcake!

My little one has some beefy muscles! Although he/she is only about the size of a pop can, you can tell by this picture where he/she is flexing that they will be a bruiser.

We decided that we want to be surprised on the sex so we didn't find out at our 20-week ultrasound. The little one was a mover though and gave the nurse some difficulty in getting some of the pictures. Then it fell asleep on its stomach and wouldn't let her get a picture of the umbilical cord. If this is a sign of things to come, A. and I will have our hands full with a difficult child. It will be loved though.

S/he has Flippers

Nine-week ultrasound picture! It probably looks like a blob to you, but our baby's head is on the left. And there's an arm near the top center. And there's a leg near the bottom right. Isn't s/he cute?
