17 Weeks

17 weeks today! 

Holidays were great, New Year is here and Baby Weaver is a thumb sucker. Today we had a 35 minute ultrasound and could see the most amazing details of our little 5" fetus.  You could almost count every vertebrae on his/her spine, you could see the femur (2.5 cm long) it's perfectly round head, it's brain, kidneys, all four heart cavities, both legs, both feet, both arms and hands and all 5 fingers. We were happy to see there were no "extra" limbs or heads..... Baby was moving around a bit, had it's legs crossed and kept putting it's thumb in it's mouth. It swallowed too. No bum shots though, baby was tucked face down deep in my pelvis and we couldn't get him to turn round so limited face shots and no gender determination! 

Heartrate: 144 bpm

Length: 12.5 cm (head to bum)

Bump Picture to follow later tonight.
