13-1/2 Weeks Ultrasound

The video is mostly of the baby facing down in a crawling possition. Head on left, butt on right. Towards the beginning you will see the baby face you (looks like an alien) then quickly turn away. You'll also see arms, butt, and a little bit of legs tucked underneath. You will hear us refer to the baby as a girl..... we do not know which it is, however the tech was guessing girl due to the nonstop movement.

This is a retake of last week's ultrasound. The Dr's office scheduled me with the wrong stenographer, so we had to retake with the one who was certified to do this particular test.

The baby was surely showing "Joey" traits today. Very active, and a little stuborn. It took us an hour and a half, 2 times looking, and every way to do an ultrasound to get the measurement the tech needed. The 1st time looking the baby would not give us a profile shot for her to take her measurement, so she asked us to hang out for a while and then we will try again. The 2nd time the kid just wouldn't stop moving and kept rolling around. Finally, an excellent profile shot, she goes to measurement and ...whooop... the baby flipped completely over. Guess I should lay off the coffee???....

12-3/4 Weeks Ultrasound

This is the ultrasound taken at the 11-14 week to measure the nuchal fold.... ya, I said that too.... it is a measurement of the clear space in the tissue at the back of the neck - normal.

Alright, enuff of the techy stuff...


The tech said the baby had a cute face...













We got to see the baby moving around! S/he likes to stick their arms over their head (like mama sleeps) and seemed to be bouncing or scooting when stretching the legs. Looking at these pictures I think the baby's arms are around the head. It was really cool. I was crying and laughing so much that I was bouncing the screen around. I had to chill.







Can you see that foot!?












S/he is 6cm tall.
Grown 2 cm in 2-1/2 weeks.

12 Weeks - Jane's Hitchin'

"Ma & Pa to Be" at The Ritz-Carlton all gussied up for Jane's wedding.

Ya, ummm my mom told me that I looked "very pregnant in that dress".... uh, thanks mom.

10-1/2 Weeks Ultrasound

Ok.... I think I see a head? Maybe this kid does not like to have his/her pic taken, but it's neat to have all the pics I can get my hands on of the little one. The doc was just taking a quick peek. Before we knew it she was done. I asked for a picture, so she did it again - 2 in 1 day!

Back in 2 weeks for another u/s.

Today was the 'Big Appointment' where they map out the next 7 months; how often to come in, what your insurance covers, what you can't eat (sushi), what ya can't do (scuba), what tests they will perform (a lot) and how often they will suck blood from ya (uhhh, like everytime! - 6 viles today - almost passed out and threw up, boy were people moving around fast! They gave me grape juice, it tasted like wine.)

10 Weeks - 4th of July

This is the first pic of myself where I thought I looked wide.

That's not a beer belly!
