12 week Ultrasound!

12 week ultrasound

Umm...we have a HUMAN in there! OMG. I was so relieved and excited to see that our babe had progressed from bean to baby in just a month! I apologize for the quality of these - I had to scan them and they just don't take well.

This is a zoomed out pic of the whole baby. It was wriggling all around in there. When we first started his little arms were swung up above his head then he was waving them all over!

Here's a little pic of the hand. In the real version you can count all 5 fingers!

I could not get over the amazing amount of movement. Babe kept pushing off and bouncing, turning, waving and I can't feel a thing. That is insane to me!

We got lots of good news at this visit - 1. baby is growing right on track. measuring at 12 weeks 1 or 2 days when I'm 12 weeks 3 days. 2. heart is still goin strong - 154 beats per minute. 3. skin thickness and nasal bone point to a very low risk of down's syndrome.

I so wish we had a little video of it bouncing around in there. BLEW my mind. I think the pregnancy just became real for me today. A very good reward after feeling like crap working the past three nights. Baby doesn't like night shift. Thankfully only three more shifts til the big move!
