Twang'em into trees!
...because the next time I make a thread about being (no longer!) gravid, I'll hopefully have photos of the actual person to show you! 
The last time I posted about my bun-in-the-oven, Gravid Update, back in October, my baby was showing making funny faces and covering the face with the little fists...so, my dr told me to remind her about possibly having an updated ultrasound at a later date to see if we could get a better picture. Besides, the technician put in my report "obstruction of baby's face" which would totally justify to any insurance company that I'd *absolutely* need to have another ultrasound to see it! (The norm is one ultrasound per low-risk pregnancy, and this would be/was my third...) So, at my appt before the holidays I asked my dr...and she wrote out the order!
And, without further ado, here's Baby at 18 weeks + 4 days gestation (just as a reminder & to show you Baby's development!), basically all skin & bones and probably weighing a pound, in 3D (look at those lips!!!):
NOW...here's Baby at 30 weeks + 3 days gestation, now weighing 3 lbb + 14 oz (and what a pretty pout those lips turned into!):
As you can see, Baby *still* hasn't moved that little fist from in front of the face, and even after jostling my belly, coughing and lying on my side, this is the only reaction we got:
A smile:
Finally, to show off a little, as if to say, "Ok, you didn't get me to move my fist, but watch what I can do!", Baby then took one little foot and brought it up to the mouth/nose for some footsie-playtime action...what a coy lil'Baby (and what surprisingly long feet my Baby already has! they look an awful lot like mine...!).
Nine weeks to go -- and you'll be able to meet the Baby in person! :dancer: Thanks for looking! :wavey:
