Ultrasound

Friday we had our 14 week OB appointment. Jared and Presley went with me and when the doctor came in he asked if we wanted to peek at the baby. Of course we said YES! Seeing an ultrasound always makes me feel so much better. On the way down the hall he told us the baby had sex organs but that this early it was usually hard to tell what the sex was. We knew that already and told him we didn't care we were just happy to get to see our little one. This is a 2D picture of our little bundle. Apparently we make super active babies. This little one was moving all over the place. You can see the measurement from the head to the rump on this one and we're exactly on track!
And here is a 3D picture. I love that this baby keeps its hands by its ears. Presley does this when she is sleepy so I thought it was cute to see her little sibling doing the same.
And.....although we were not expecting it, our Dr made a prediction on the sex. He says he's 89% positive we have a baby boy. Now we know that means there's a chance this baby might actually be a girl but based on what we saw between the baby's legs our doctor is predicting boy. We honestly will be happy either way but we are excited at the idea of maybe getting to experience what raising a little boy would be like too. So....hopefully he will peek again next month at 18 weeks. If not, we will have the diagnostic ultrasound shortly after that and should know for sure by then.
Okay....check out the arrow. What do you guys think?!!! This is a picture of the placenta on the left side of the uterus, the baby on its back with its legs stretched up in the air over it. Now this could be the cord but it never moved around or changed shapes. So...place your bets now friends!
