Deakin

Thursday June 11 we got our 2nd ultrasound and its a BOY! The day started out very stressful with over booking of the ultrasound lady and demands that we move our appointment but it finally all got work out. It was a good thing that we wanted to know the sex of the kiddo because we would have found out one way or the other unless we had had our eyes closed when she put the wand-thingy on my tummy - a crotch shot was the first view that came up and there was no doubt about it...definitely a boy.

The pictures that they chose to give us were not the ones I would have picked....the first one I put on here is really the only good one.

The 4-D part of the ultrasound was great while we were there but don't really make for good pictures (4-D = 3-D + movement). This picture shows Deakin sucking his wrist...that's right not his thumb...he had his entire hand inside of his mouth. He has his other hand on his forehead and is snuggled up next to the placenta, it was like he was using it as a pillow.

Its amazing all the things that they can see with the ultrasound. We saw his ribs, his blood flow, and even the inside of his brain. I'm glad that Scott remembered to bring along the camera so that we got some more pictures then just the ones they gave us (he originally forgot the camera and then ran home to get it...and I do mean ran...but then had to wait 18 minutes on the metro....silly public transportation).

This was supposed to be a picture of his boy parts but its a bit fuzzy.

This I believe is a picture of his leg bone. Here is the spinal column.

Here is the mug shot, you can really tell in this picture that my tummy is much bigger then the last time we had an ultrasound.
