Make with the pics already!!! I wanna see my niece/nephew! I can't believe they are gonna be able to tell the sex so early!

In response…

I know! I was shocked...I knew you can see the sex of the baby around 16-20 weeks and sometimes can be seen as early as 14 weeks but asked her anyways and she shocked us by saying the sooner than the later. She seemed very sure about it also which excited me. But I don't go back to that doctor till July. So not sure if the other doctor will be able to see the sex with their equipment. The ultrasound that they have used in the past isn't as good as the HD one they have at Dr. Maher’s office. I know that they have a 3/4 D ultrasound at Dr. Tuckers office but doubt they will use it just so I can see the sex of the baby early but I'm gonna beg and plead!

The camera keeps cutting off when I try to take pics of the US. I have changed the batteries and everything so will probably have to have them scanned somewhere. The ultrasound tech didn't take pics when we first saw the baby which would have given us great pics of the whole baby kicking the legs and arms. She instead went to my ovaries and measured them which seemed to take forever. When she got back to the baby it had moved so the pics are just close ups of the face and one hand. I was like aw poo but I'm sure we will get some more at the other dr. visit and hopefully (crosses fingers) pics of the baby’s hoo hoo!

The pic of the face you can see the skull of the face and the brain split into two hemispheres. You can see the eyes also and its little chin. The hand pic you can see the bones in the hand and the little fingers and thumb. I wish they still put the US on video. I just can't get over how much it was moving this early in the pregnancy. I thought maybe it would bring a hand to the face but never thought that it would be doing a little jig inside me. I know for sure when we saw the baby moving all over the place that it was one of the best moments of my life.

I have felt a couple of flutters where the baby is positioned but according to some web boards in response to people who say they feel the baby in the earlier weeks, they say its too early to feel the baby. I have only felt it a few times but really think it’s the baby and not gas since I wasn’t gassy or having tummy issues at the time. It amazes me that I haven’t felt it more since its moving so much inside me. But I know I’ll feel more than just flutters as the baby gets bigger. Every week gets more and more exciting.
