Good news from the doctor today: our little one has all its hands and feet, both hemispheres of the brain, and seems to have the normal amount of nuchal translucence, which is a way of assessing potential risk for Down Syndrome. And the little bugger's about 6 cm in length. So far, so good.
The little thing slept most of the time, except for when the lab tech shook it up to get a better look at the hands and feet. It stretched at one point as if to say "Why are you WAKING me UP?" and promptly went back to sucking its thumb. It was amazing to see the heart beating a blur on the ultrasound.
The pics are still pretty fuzzy, but if you look closely I think it has Jennifer's smile.
Feb. 23 seems closer and closer every day.
