20 Week Ultrasound

This morning was our 20-week US and Squirt cooperated for the most part.  After a bunch of squirming around while the US Tech was trying to take pictures and measurements, Squirt settled down for a nap at exactly the wrong time.  The position the baby was lying in made it pretty difficult to get anymore good pictures, but after Melissa got up and jumped around a little bit the pictures turned out just fine.


We also learned that our baby is extraordinarily average.  Squirt placed exactly in the 50th percentile in every measurement.  The US Tech estimated Squirt's weight to be around 10-11 ounces and the heart rate was 144.


The tech told us that she was able to see if Squirt was a boy or girl, but didn't tell us since we had decided to not find out.  It'll just have to be a surprise for everyone.


Get ready cause this is only the start of the kid pics.  I'm sure I'll burn out at least a few cameras in this kid's lifetime!

Tough to see, but it starts in the foreground and you can see Squirt's forearm, then moves back and you can see that the baby is lying with arms and legs tucked in while sleeping.
