its referred to as the "big one" for several reasons, most importantly to majority of people, it's when you find out the sex of the baby! also, they check for all of the chambers of the heart, take lots of measurements, and count all the fingers and toes!
so last tuesday, we got about a 30 minute long ultrasound with our rolly polly baby! as soon as the screen came up, the first thing we saw was the spine. creepy sounding, yeah, but it was SO COOL! it's amazing that you can see all the bones and stuff. the baby had its back to us for majority of the time... but did flip around while we were watching. it was hard to believe how active babies are already, the tech had a hard time getting the speed of the heart beat b/c of all the movement.
the baby is weighing in at 8 oz and is measuring a few days ahead. but my due date is still the same. (from what i understand, they don't change that unless you are off by a week or more.)
since we didn't find out the sex of the baby, our dr won't know either. so the secret is safe! i do feel a little bad, b/c brandt *really* wants to know. but he agreed to wait. even though i know he isn't the happiest with that, i did promise that for #2 we would find out.
and here are a few of the pics,
labeled for your viewing pleasure!
