Photo Shoot.

Yesterday was a really great day - we got to spend lots of time looking at you and the best part is that you are growing right on schedule and you are healthy as can be!! We had our anatomy scan ultrasound, so the main purpose of the ultrasound is to check that you are healthy and happy and to take some measurements of you to make sure you are growing at the the right rate. The sonographer was really great - we still have no idea if you are a boy or a girl, and she made sure to point out all of the things she measured.

She measured your arms, legs, spine, head circumference and estimated your weight (at 15 ounces, you are just under one pound!!). We also got to see your heart beating and the blood flowing through the umbilical cord, which was super cool. She also did some 3D pictures so we could see what your face looks like ... you had other ideas though! Throughout the scan you had your hands up by your face - hiding from us! I guess you just really want to be a surprise :) It was adorable.

After the ultrasound, I had my weekly check-up with the doctor and that went great too. I've gained some more weight (perhaps too many donuts!!?!) but I'm still on track and your heart is still beating strong at 151 bpm. All in all, it was a fantastic evening. And without further ado, here are your glamour shots!!
Your head is on the right, facing us, with your belly and spine to the right.
Arms up covering your face - you shy little thing!
Your belly on the right, with your knees and legs crossed to the left.
Your legs again - crossed.
Your adorable feet!!
Your head in profile on the right, with your hand up to your forehead - looks like you've had a long day :)
Head turned towards us on the right, with your belly on the left.
Your 3D profile with your left hand up by your face - you are seriously adorable!
And finally - a short little video of you squirming around and covering up your face again :)

We are so happy that you are doing so great in there!! We are beyond excited to meet you - until then, stay cozy baby!!!

All my love, Mom
