19 Dec 2003 - 12:469m - Ultrasound pics!

So I had my third - and likely final - ultrasound this morning. Wow, the baby has gotten so big now! And really looks like a baby, as you can so clearly see the face now (though the pics just don't do it justice). It was so wonderful to watch - the baby yawned, and then right before we finished, our little one even stuck out his/her tongue at us! LOL. My child indeed! (You can faintly see it in the final picture, if you know what you are looking for).

S/he was active, if sleepy, opening his/her eyes occasionally and moving around. We even saw his/her cute little toes and hands (s/he was, in fact, covering her/his face the entire time with his/her hands - but the wonders of ultrasound allowed us to see "through" his/her arms and hands to see the face). The nurse told us they often give "gender" shots to parents, but since we're keeping it a surprise, no such shot for us. ;)

So here are the thumbnails - click on the pic to see a larger version:

See the yawn in the third pic?

And if you're really interested, here's just how big this baby is getting... my belly pic at 30 weeks. So big!
