Our ultrasound was today (19wk04days). They took measurements of femur length (about 1.5" long), head circum., abdomen circum., and looked at major organs: brain, kidneys, heart, stomach, bladder.
Baby weighed in at 11 oz. and according to measurements, they calculated it to be sized at 20wk01day old (or else just a little bit large for 19wk04day).
Grandpa Lowell doesn't want to know the sex until the birth, if possible, so we'll try not to post information on that on our baby blog; however, many of you know the guessed sex (via email).
At first, baby's head was on my left side. Then, a little while later, she measured the circum. of the head on my right side. I questioned "I thought you said the head was over here?" to which she replied "Yeah, well, it moved. Head is over here now." Amazed, I didn't feel a complete somersault... only felt minimal flutters.
Kind of cute, while she was poking around with the ultrasound wand, all of a sudden, a foot pressed up. She tried to catch a picture of that for us. Baby also kept putting a hand up near its face. She did manage to capture 4 visible fingers while the thumb was tucked under she predicts.
All in all, it was pretty cool.....
