Ultrasound News

So we had the 18-20 week Ultrasound today which took a good hour and a half - we didn't find out the gender and the technician didn't slip! Mike and I both repeated a few times that we don't want to know the gender - she got the picture and giggled. The baby looks good - the heartbeat was 157 today and weighed 10 ounces - the technician made comment that the baby's femur bone looked very long and asked Mike and I how tall we both were. The baby was moving a little bit, opening it's mouth and kept it's hands infront of it's face most of the time - maybe sucking his/her thumb =) In assessing all the measurements they estimated a due date of August 1 (rather than August 9) but stated that the due date won't change - it's just an estimation due to the baby's size - it could come 2 weeks before or 2 weeks later. All in all - baby is doing great! Mike and I are so excited and are in complete amazement at technology and what it allows us to learn so early on - incredible!
