Bouncing Baby

Today we had our 13 week ultrasound to check on the baby and make sure he/she is developing correctly and there are no "markers" for any genetic problems. Baby came out with a clean bill of health and is measuring a week ahead of schedule (13w/1d) which shows a strong growth pattern! It was so much fun to see and hear its little heart beating so fast and to see it bouncing around, flailing its arms and legs and even sucking its thumb. I can't believe how much our little one has developed in such a short amount of time.

Here are a few photos from the visit:

The best part of the visit was at the end, when the ultrasound technician handed us a DVD of the whole visit! Here is a short clip of our bouncing baby for you to enjoy :)
