Today we had a doctor appointment and were able to see more pictures of the baby. It was another amazing experience and we are continually in awe of how beautiful this process is. The baby is twice the size as last ultrasound and weighs about 1 1/2 pounds. Everything is normal thus far. Today we saw the baby's spine, ribs, kidneys, 2 brain hemispheres, and more. Here is a profile of the baby's face. We are thinking the baby has my nose, anyone else have a thought?
When the doctor mentioned she was going to count the baby's fingers the baby raised a hand and gave us a thumbs up! Then the baby started sucking his/her thumb before showing us each finger one-by one. It was pretty amazing. She then said she was going to count the other hand and sure enough, the baby lifted the other hand, gave us a thumbs up and showed us all fingers. We have the smartest baby ever and he/she listens to directions which is even better! His/her legs look like an athlete's feet, which made daddy proud. Good bone and muscle structure so far! Lots to look forward to.
Thanks for enjoying this journey with us! Every moment is pretty exciting.
