18 weeks old

Today we had our fetal scan with the fetal specialist, Dr Cohen. He took pictures of everything... the face, heart, arms and legs, the head, spine. He gave us a few to take home. Here is a great picture of the baby looking right at the "camera" (such a little ham already!):

He was able to see almost everything except the heart. He said there are 2 angles from which he likes to see the heart, and because of the position of the baby (the baby is currently breech), he couldn't see the both angles. He was able to see all 4 chambers though. Also, the baby kept moving around, which made it difficult to see everything.

Because of my previous history, he also had to examine the length of the cervix, but all looked great. We have to go back in 2 weeks because my BP was a bit high (not surprising after my Colorado trip) and he wants to try to see the heart again. Also, the placenta is in front of my cervix, so he wants to watch that as well.

But overall things look great. The baby is 7 inches and is the right size for its age. So we left with outstanding news!
