13 week appointment

Here is our baby! (S)he is 3 inches long and 13 weeks 2 days along. They say it is the size of a medium shrimp. The sonogram was amazing- we saw and now heard the baby's heartbeat! The baby seemed to be resting at first and it seemed to be unfazed by the prodding of the technician (a nice, calm baby!). However, with enough prodding the baby soon started moving around.

Here you can see the baby kicking me! (S)he was pushing off with the legs and the technician nicknamed the baby a swimmer. The baby continued to jump a couple of times and turn over a few times as well! I can't feel it though, at least not yet.

The technician was able to get a few different angles. Here the baby is facing us and waving hello. We also saw (though do not have a picture of) the top of the head, which was amazing because you can see the brain divided into its two hemispheres.
