January 16th, 2008 - 16 Week Scan!

This is a picture of Mommy and your Doctor Martin (Queen Elizabeth Woman's Hospital – Birmingham, England) during your sixteen week scan. This was a close-up scan, so we didn't get any good pictures of you to post. The doctor focused on examining all of your body parts. He showed us your hands (four fingers and a thumb - each hand!) and feet (five toes - each foot!). He also examined your head, brain, face, spine, ribs, neck and chest. Everything looks great! All of your measurements are where they should be. We are so happy that you are doing so well! We also saw you waving your hands, kicking your feet and opening your mouth. The only thing that we couldn't see was if you are a boy or a girl because your umbilical cord was blocking the view. We will have to wait two more weeks to find out! Your Mommy is now starting to feel better and is getting anxious to really start planning your nursery. We will post a picture of her in a couple of days, so you can see how much bigger she is getting!
