13 weeks pregnant and proud

I will be 13 weeks pregnant tomorrow. Last week i had my ultrasound and got some amazing photos. So i thought i would post them for all to see. It truely is amazing how formed babies are at this stage....A miracle indeed.

This is my precious baby. As you can see he/she is sitting upside down with the head facing downwards. In pic 1 you get a look at the extended legs (having a little stretch) as in the following pics you will notice the legs are bent. In pic 2 you get to see the tiny hands. In pic 3 you can see basically the entire body. In all these photos you can see the umbilical cord if you look closely. it is running along the top of the womb.



The baby is in the same position as the last set of pics. The first pic you can see the hands well and also the head. The second pic you can see the umbilical cord which is running across the top of the babies back, you can see this in pic 3. The legs are visable and are bent at the time. The head, spine and tummy are all very prominant as well. In pic 3 you can see much the same as pic 2.

I love pic one of this set as you can see the babies side veiw of the face very clearly. You can even see a little nose....amazing! Now you may have noticed that the baby is facing upwards in this set. This is because the last 2 sets of pics were taken in the morning and these were taken in the afternoon, so the baby has rotated to an upward posion and is not facing down so much. In the morning they were unable to get the measurments of the neck which checks for downs screening. This was due to the position of the baby. Even after 2 walks in the garden it wasnt enough so they had to send me on my way only to return in the afternoon. Praise God after having some lunch the baby had moved and was very active. in pic 3 you can see a hand extended. Other than that there is not much in this set.
