Wait...Who Dat?

If you look close (not the most cooperative fetus, today) you can see eyes, nose, mouth, and ribs. It was quite an amazing experience seeing all organs, one by one being located, measured, plotted, etc.

There was a tense couple of minutes as the Doctor ensured that there were the necessary four chambers to the heart, but - baruch ha'shem - the baby finally allowed a clear view.

We'll go back in a month and have another scan and hopefully we'll have some clearer photos to share.

The Doctor and Technician were very sweet, especially when it came to time to verify the gender. We have chosen to not know beforehand (much to the confusion of many), so they gave me plenty of warning to look the other way.

I was able to make out the sutures of the skull, the bony structures, the mouth/nose and - with the team pointing them out - the ventricles of the brain, and nice pair of kidneys, loops of bowel, the umbilical cord, all ten fingers, and all ten toes.

It had to be one of the most amazing things I have ever seen, and on more than on occasion I felt quite misty.

We are right on the money for our dates, and currently Baby Bear weighs in at 638 gm, which is 1lb 6oz. Cool!
