Exciting Day!

Today was an exciting day! I had my ultrasound today for the genetic testing. I didn't realize how much we were going to be able to see. I wish Elliott had been able to go, but he'll be able to go to the next one in August. The good thing is I came home with lots of pictures & memories to tell him about. 

They didn't give me many details as they were taking measurements and such. They will take the information from this ultrasound, blood from today, as well as information from the next ultrasound and blood from that day and send it all in to be reviewed. So, we should find out about the testing at about 20 weeks or so (mid- August). She did tell me that the baby is measuring at 13 weeks 4 days, which is about 6 days further along that we thought. She said this isn't enough to move up my due date yet, but it might be an indication that he/she might come a little early. We'll see! 

Here are the pictures from today. They are not nearly as exciting as the actual ultrasound. The baby was moving all around and the ultrasound tech even referred to it as "ornery" because it kept moving around every time she tried to get a look at it. 

Here's a picture of the feet. You can see the length of them because the arrows are pointing to them. I've already counted all of the fingers and toes!

This is one of my favorites. It looks pretty relaxed, but boy was he/she moving around!

Just lounging around! You can see the legs up in the air if you look closely.

This one cracks me up! See the hands over his/her face! This looks just like what Elliott does. I can't tell if that little white thing is an ear or not, but if so, it looks even more like Elliott. ;-)

This is our skeleton baby! The ultrasound tech said all the babies look a little creepy from the front. This picture kind of creeps me out. Haha.

Lots of Love,
