10 Fingers, 10 Toes

Being additive, technically a second kid means we have fingers/toes 11-20 in work, but all present and accounted for on this bun in the oven. Friday we had our first big ultrasound. The midwife has as they call it "a dinosaur" for a sonogram machine and, while its fine for routine exams, we do go out twice during the pregnancy to an ultrasound specialist for the complete anatomy scan. I gotta say though, it was actually more interesting this time though than with Zara based on what I remember. This kiddo is either a soccer player or a free safety, because they just don't stop moving. I've felt pretty consistent movement for a several weeks now and baby didn't disappoint during the ultrasound. It kept twisting around, kicking, and was even sucking a thumb on and off. The high res ultrasound even picked up the tongue movement while sucking on the thumb. It was both awesome because its our kid and for the purely medical fascination of what we could see. We ended up deciding not to find out whether there will be a little brother or a little sister for Zara, so no news there. A few pictures to close...
