The First Pictures of the New Little One  

Posted by The Flesners

We went for an ultrasound a couple of weeks ago.  Everything looks good- this one was much more cooperative than Ryleigh was during her ultrasound.  We even got to see a great shot of the heart with all 4 chambers!  We also found out that we are only having one- no twins- and that our dates were off by a couple of days (which helps explain why I measured a little bigger at my last appointment).  Ryleigh was able to come along with us but wasn't always really sure what she was suppose to be looking at.  She did like the part when you could see the feet moving around a bunch.  We didn't find out if it was a boy or a girl- we are waiting to be surprised.  Ryleigh is still determined that it is a baby sister, but has said that she can "deal" with a baby brother.  We have another check-up next Thursday to see how things are going.

Here is a profile shot.  The head is in the upper right hand corner and the butt is towards the bottom-center of the picture.

Another profile of the baby, just a little closer up.

In this picture the baby is looking right at us.  You can see the outline of the skull and the hollow area where the eyes are as well as the nose and mouth.


Here is a picture of his/her little foot.  Isn't it cute?!?!?!
