Today was our big ultrasound. It was our first and possibly the only one if the pregnancy progresses as expected. Dave and I were pretty excited, although I think Dave was more excited than I was. I've been feeling the baby move for a couple of weeks now, so I get to interact with Spud every day. Dave, on the other hand, hasn't been able to feel Spud move yet (Spud moves mostly during the day while I'm at work) so he was pretty anxious to see him or her.
Here's a photo of me at 22 weeks (after a nice, long day at work).
And here's Spud's first set of photos at 22 weeks. I'll try and explain what you are seeing in the photos though I had to have it all explained to me (and I can't guarantee I remember everything).
Here's a side profile...
And one foot and one arm...
This one confuses me a bit but I know it's Spud's spine along the top, right side...
Another side profile with a "floating" fist...
And one more side profile with an arm...
And Spud flexing his muscles...
Spud was sleeping when we started the ultrasound but the tech was able to get him or her to wake up and move. That was quite the sight to watch. We also got to see Spud sucking. Crazy. Dave and I were both relived that there was no mention of a top hat or walking cane (Spaceballs reference anyone?).
Spud measured in at 1 pound, 2 ounces (though I have no idea how they determine that) and approximately 9 inches long. The tech also estimated that I was 22 weeks and 1 day so we are pretty much right on for the June 10th due date.
And, just in case you thought we were neglecting him, here's some recent Patton shots.
And, yes, that is how he sits. If he can sit in your lap he will. It doesn't matter if you are sitting on the floor, on the couch, or in bed, he has to be in your lap. I'm not sure why God programmed the biggest dogs to be lap dogs but I'll take it.
