Ultrasound Pics!

Sorry it took all week, but I've finally got our ultrasound pictures ready to share! I would like to point out that while I can't blame Darrell's slow editing for this delay because there wasn't any editing that he needed to do, he was the one responsible for scanning the ultrasound pictures and sending them to me. So technically I can still blame him (but not really because he has had a pretty crazy week at work. So there's no hard feelings. Plus a Friday is the perfect day spend gazing at these pictures anyway).

As I mentioned on Tuesday, baby was an uncooperative little stink during the ultrasound. The sonographer was still able to get all the measurements and stuff that he needed, but try as he might he couldn't get BOB to cooperate and give us much for quality pictures. Granted, we were more concerned with making sure everything looked okay than getting exceptional pictures, so we're not too heartbroken over the matter. Besides, since this is our first and we don't have much to compare them to, the pictures look pretty darn good to us. I have tried to label them though so hopefully they'll make sense to you as well.

Shortly before this shot BOB tried to flip us the bird, but his other fingers wiggled up there before the sonographer could get a clear shot

Strong little leg kicking away--and we totally think it looks like he has a sneaker on his foot already

A good top-down shot of BOB being stubborn. Those arms stayed up in front of his face like that for the entire ultrasound--Darrell blames me for this because apparently I sleep with my hands up by my face as well 

We did managed to get a pretty decent profile shot, although you can still see a little hand up by the face. And if this picture was in real time, you'd probably be able to see that little hand trying to make its way into baby's mouth. We may end up with a thumb-sucker on our hands--although I'm hoping it means he'll be a good nurser

For the record, I know that on more than one occasion I've referred to BOB as a "he"--it is not intentional, nor does it mean anything. It just sounds funny to call the baby "it", and since we've "named" him BOB, the male pronoun just comes more naturally. Only time will tell if there is some subconscious "mother's instinct" causing me to lean in this direction!
