4 Month Ultrasound

I had my 16 week ultrasound yesterday. And as you can see from the picture below, it is still a boy. I realized that I have become quite the expert at seeing ultrasounds, so I labeled these pictures to hopefully help point out the important stuff. He was positioned facing downward so the doc couldn't get a picture of his face, but we got his backside and were able to watch him kick his legs and clench his tiny hands. It is so amazing what is going on in there.

He is only about the size of a softball, but he is already a baby. I have actually felt him move twice within the last 2 weeks. It is only a soft flutter at this point. I can't wait until he is big enough that I can watch my stomach bulge out as he moves. That was one of the coolest and freakiest things with Eddie.

The doctor said all looks well. His development is right on track, with a strong heartbeat. They took my blood to run all of the tests to make sure everything looks normal, then next month we have a more high-tech ultrasound with a specialized tech who will check everything developmentally as far as heart, brain, spine etc. The 20 week appointment is always the most nerve racking.
