we got to have another ultrasound today (12 wk 6 days) with a maternal fetal medicine specialist! dr. magee was AMAZING. the baby was flipping all over the place--so, so different from the little blob we saw last time!
the scan was officially to evaluate nuchal translucency (which measured fine). the doc was able to confirm 5 fingers on each side and a cute little nasal bone (which is a good sign against Down's syndrome). the baby had his/her feet crossed...which made a guess at gender difficult...and as soon as we got the legs uncrossed, he/she blocked us with a hand. what a tease! looks like the go-go-go, OCD, stubborn traits may have snuck into the gene pool!
this is my favorite one! what a sweet little arm & profile!
(baby's looking up with arm bent on the left)
(baby looking down, facing left with bright spine on the right)
(whole body profile--facing up, head on the left)
per dr. magee, the required "area 51" alien shot--scary
(straight-on face shot, slanted in upper right)
we are so thankful for a healthy journey thus far, and i am in awe of the bouncing little child inside. we're left guessing about pink vs blue until my next u/s at 20 wks - - i'm guessing girl because of one of the fleeting images we saw today but russell is sticking to his original boy conviction! we will be THRILLED regardless!
--overwhelming joy & gratefulness--
