We had the ultrasound yesterday. It was SO amazing! Our little munchkin has a head, arm buds, leg buds and a yolk sac, and a beating heart. You could actually see all those on the picture too. I'll have to scan in a picture (maybe tonight). Seeing the heart beat was amazing!
The tech who did our scan was named Jeanette. After we talked with Rachel and Eric last night we learned that she is the tech who does not like it when parents come in around 20 weeks and want to find out the gender of their baby. She much prefers when they come in and talk about finding a healthy ~baby~, not caring about the gender. So, we'll remember that when we go back in another 13 weeks or so. Oh, she's also the lady who doesn't give out pictures of the "all boy" or "all girl" parts because she considers it pornography! What a kook!
Richie said to me last night "I didn't know it already has a head!" and then I told him that our little baby already has eyes starting to form, and a liver, and intestines etc... He then asked me if there are steroids in a woman's body that make essentially *nothing* turn into a 10 pound (Gosh I hope not!) baby in just 9 months. We both had a good laugh about that.

Huh. You'd think she'd have to follow the office policy on whether or not to print certain pictures. I've never heard the "pornography" argument before!
