More Baby Pictures

This morning, we had our follow-up appointment for the anatomical ultrasound. At 20 weeks, the technician was not able to get a good scan of our baby's heart, because of our little guy's position. Today, the technician was able to get a great view of his heart (all four chambers). The image was clear enough that Matt and I could see the valves opening and closing. Wow!

Baby is measuring around 3lbs and 4oz, a little bigger than the average size for this stage. Matt and I had each guessed he'd be 3lbs, so we were very close in our estimate.

During the exam, we also got to see him open his eyes and open and close his mouth several times. We are so in love with our son and beyond grateful that he is healthy, strong and still growing.

I reduced the image size to make it easier to see. The baby is facing you and laying down on his side. I circled his face with magenta and put a green bow tie where he'd wear one if he was wearing one.
