Today we went for the 20 week ultrasound. HOW COOL! The tech spent over an hour getting the images she needed and for the most part Baby cooperated. We saw the heart beating, all the chambers of the heart, the aorta, the umbilical cord, the placenta, the spinal cord, the brain... it was very very cool. She took measurements of the leg and arm bones, the dimensions of the head, length of the spine... in total Baby is 6.5 inches long. And at 60th percentile for weight. I think it was 10.5 ounces... but can't remember exactly. Everything looked right on track for 20 weeks. 
The entire ultrasound took over an hour. At first, the baby was quite still and that helped her get a lot of the pictures right away. Then she wanted the baby to move so she could get face pictures and all we could get was the baby kicking and waving both arms. Very funny to see. Finally after laying on my one side and then turning onto my back, baby decided to cooperate. My girlfriend Emily scanned these photos in for me. Very cool to see the 3-D images...

Hi Dee!
I'm so excited for you and Jim. Thanks for putting this website together so even those of us in the U.P. can stay up to date on the baby :)
