Had an ultra-sound this morning, and a first look at Mercy Hospital here in Redding. Everyone seems exceptionally nice (even though I had to wait 2 hours, and keep filling my bladder). The technician did a lot of looking at the sonogram that I couldn't see, so it wasn't quite as satisfying. But I did see her track the heartbeat, and at one point she showed me its arm and hand and told me it was waving at me (just like a few weeks ago, when I swear it gave me a 'power to the people' fist). Afterwards she showed me a little onscreen action. It was laying horizontally across my torso, facing my back. She said it was moving around a lot too.
These photos are a little fuzzier than they were on screen, but you can clearly see the spine, and a little outline of the face. It's always reassuring to see the little bean. I'm sure I'll hear more about how it looked to the doctor's in the next few weeks.
