Ultrasound - A whole lot of backside!

So today we went for the big ultrasound! It was pretty amazing to see our baby on the screen. She was moving around so much and really made the ultrasound tech work to get the measurements. I enlarged the screen so you can see the baby's spine running across it. While we did get the chance to see some pretty cool things, like our baby's arms, hands, legs, and heart, she was camera shy and turned her back on us! The tech could not get any shots of her face, and couldn't have told us if she was a he if we'd wanted to know. Helps make the decision of "to find out or not to find out" a lot easier when the baby makes that decision for you :-). I am scheduled for one more ultrasound so they can check for any sign of a clef lip/palate, but the doctor says that everything else looks great!

Thank God that our little baby is growing just as she should and we did not get any unpleasant surprises today. The baby measures right anywhere from 19 weeks to 19 weeks, 5 days on all measurments and weighs around 11 oz! That is a little bigger than the "average" posted on babycenter. Unfortunately, we'll have to wait until the next ultrasound in hopes of a good picture. Since Baby Sanchez was uncooperative today, the tech did not get any good shots (except of things like kidneys!) for us to take home. I am glad Fred had the camera handy, though, to at least let us post something!
