What a Beautiful Baby!

Well, here are our ultrasound pictures. Isn't Cleatus the Fetus (the "gender neutral" name for now...) cute?!! During the ultrasound the baby was VERY active! He or she liked turning, kicking, moving his or her arms, and covering his or her face often, which made it hard to get great pictures. There were a few pictures of the baby's face that were amazing, but we weren't able to catch it in time! However, we are very pleased that that baby is as active as it is, which is a great sign! The heartbeat was 146 and weighs about 14 oz right now.

My doctor's appointment today was great. The baby and I are both right on schedule, so that was good to hear. Phil felt the baby kick today for the first time too, so he was very excited about that.

What a cute foot!! You can count the little toes!!!
Here is the baby's face. Yes, it looks a little alien-like, but it was because of the contrast they had set on the machine. There were better pictures, but he or she is already dancing!

What a wonderful profile! The little "bubble" you see above the baby's chest is the umbilical chord. You can also see the four little chambers of the heart (the darker area just below the chord).

Here is as much of the baby as they could fit onto the screen! And no, you cannot tell the gender in this picture! It even went in our file as "not disclosed" so our doctor doesn't even know! I'm going to make her guess and predict one of these days.....

Well, time for the mom and baby to have some "cuddle" time and head to bed!

More updates soon!!
