Ultrasound Pictures

Will and I got to see baby girl Alexander for 1.5 hours today when I volunteered to be the subject for a morphology exam - which basically means "performing a full-body ultrasound on the baby".

Our precious little one was on her best behavior and allowed the student to take all of body measurements she needed. However, she absolutely refused to stop moving her head around for a picture and then when she finally did settle her face wasn't anywhere in sight. The instructor took over at the end and she was able to capture these pictures, but not without baby's hands/feet in front of her face. But, she looks really pretty already. In fact, she looks A LOT like Sophia to me. Can't wait to meet her.

Her stats: Everything looked perfect in their eyes. The heart has 4 chambers and a really great rhythm to it. She was very settled and sleeping when the heart rate was taken, but it was 130. She has girl parts. She has eyes, lips, chin, nose, bridge, etc...all the stuff she's supposed to have. They predicted she would have a lot of hair...Sophia had a ton of black hair when she was born. She's measuring only 1 day greater than her due date. They said he due date would be May 29. She weighs 2 pounds 8 ounces which seems huge to me already! Anyway - take a look. Some are much easier to see than others.
