Baby Pictures: Mark 2

We went to the doctor again last week and they did an (optional, but requested by us) ultrasound to screen for some birth defects, all of which came back negative, so yay on that. And as a bonus, we got some more pictures, take a look.



This ultrasound was much more interesting than the last one. The baby was twice as big as last time: about 2.5 inches from head to tail, and really moving. We could see it do BIG kicks, with its legs coming way down and its hands and body moving all over. Really neat looking.



Like I said, the tests, both blood and ultrasound, dropped our changes of down syndrome and trisomate something something *significantly*, so that's good to know.



You can see a lot more details in these pictures. I can even pretend I can see the face, until I remember that I'm looking at a cross section and those aren't cheeks, they're teeth. Tiny baby teeth! So cute!



So you see that stuff in front of the baby face? Looks like a line of something? Those are fingers, in cross-section. I think I can count five, can you?

Things I'm worried about this week:
1) Being a Good Dad
2) Not hating being a Dad
3) Organizing the House
4) Labor
5) Feeding the baby

And one more bonus picture. I call this one: "Sorry Ladies, I'm already Taken."
