Baby's First Timeout

Well we didn't find out little chum chum's sex today. It was clear to me by the level of cooperation displayed that this child is its father's son/ daughter. To rub it in our face a little he/ she was moving and doing all sorts of other things, except of course uncrossing it's legs. When I poked enough to cause a virtual inter-uterine earthquake, the cord was in the way! I think the angle may have been more difficult because baby is breech right now, but that was certainly not a sufficient excuse to keep me from considering baby's first timeout.

Oh well, obviously most important is that baby is looking good. Still on track growth wise, which is always very much a relief. And a very large head. That is probably going to feel great coming out the ole birth canal.

On to the cute things...we caught baby playing with its feet, which was pretty cute, and also of baby sticking its hand in its mouth. The ultrasound tech said that we may have a thumb sucker on our hands. That really blows me away how they can tell that 20+ weeks (hopefully) before baby is even born!



Heartbeat was 148 BPM



And for comparison, here are the pics at our last ultrasound- about 11 weeks.



Heartbeat was 166 BPM

It seemed like the last ultrasound was clearer, but I guess looking at these pics that is not the case. It is kind of funny that baby has the same hand up in the air in both pics. It will be fun to see the differences next time too.
