October 1: 20 Weeks, 5 days (UC Davis Anatomy Scan)

We got lots of good news yesterday, and saw the baby from almost every conceivable angle. They measured everything, and told us that it currently weights 15 ounces (almost a pound). It was measuring at 21 weeks, 3 days (and there is a week or so of error in the estimate due date - so we're right within range). It's supposed to start getting familial traits in the third trimester (which is when we'll start to see those long legs and arms I think.

We played peek-a-boo with it a little bit while the sonographer was checking out its face (so amazing to see the face so close up). It was swallowing, opening and closing it's mouth, hiccuping, and moving all around. I was getting head butts and butt-bops repeatedly during the scan. It was all very exciting. It's legs were crossed at the ankles, which gave us a really cute picture of the feet, we saw fingers, hands, knee-caps, heartbeat (140), arms and even the inside of its brain. Fun-time photos are below.
