Wow.

So we had our 20 week appt this morning, (3 days early...but whatever) and have some AMAZING pictures to show for it. We did the ultrasounds first, and really got to look at him/her for almost a half hour...incredible. He was sleeping, but would kick his leg, or rub his face with his little paw...it was so sweet. We tried to get a pic of his profile, but he refused to turn his face - even after much prodding (which sort of bothered Erik). BUT, here are the best of them. I'll try to explain them so you know what you're looking at!

OH! And for reference, he's about the length of a good banana, and weighs almost as much as a can of beer (11 oz!). And no, we did not find out the gender. :)

(and one more thing...for you "non-computer" peeps, you can double click on any picture to see it bigger. then just hit the "back" button on your browser, and it will take you back to the blog.)








First off, just waving hello. :)






Then we've got the whole enchilada...head on the right, both hands up to his sleepy face (think Van Gogh's "Scream" turned sideways), the body and legs to the left.















Ths one is either the nose picking finger, or he's saying he's #1...the jury's out.














Then we've got a great pic of the spine. :) He's looking down, head on the right. You can see the little mouth (looks like a V) about 5:00.















Little piggies tap dancing on the camera. This one KILLS me!

















And here's a wonderful one leg extension. :) This one is headed up to my ribs!!!!! But you can see the foot, the shin, the thigh and the bend of the booty. The rest of the body is off camera, headed south.

















And finally.... BOO!

Wow! You've got an imagination, but then I don't have any experience looking at these things. I'm really glad he/she is not the size of a BAD banana - that would really be disappointing. You got so many pictures! Is someone getting special treatment around there? You deserve it.

Love,
Mom/Gran

I always knew that your babies would be lookers! What a good life (s)he must have in there: plenty of food, lots of sleep, even some good music to listen to...

Looks like little baby Skeletor has his costume all picked out for Halloween. "I'm crazy skeleton alien baby... Gimme some candy!"
