Last Friday, Shelly and I went to see the doctor for her 20-week appointment. Everything is going well and all the measurements were normal and no problems.
During the appointment there was also a Level 1 ultrasound. Of course a few months ago I didn't know there were levels of ultrasounds. But so far, we've had both Level 1 and Level 2. We're still pondering the Level 3 for later in the pregnancy. For some reason I'm still a little creeped out after seeing the one Mandy had of Vivian in her belly in high definition just floating around and checking things out from the inside. But I'm sure we'll probably do it.
See the pic above? Can you see how cute his little arms and hands are? Of course you can't! That darn Level 1 is like the view of earth from the space shuttle. That pic is in fact ice drifts and cloud cover in western Antarctica taken from the international space station about 4 years ago. So as the ultrasound lady was pointing things out on the screen I was nodding like I saw what she was talking about but of course I had no idea. She could have been showing a feed from NASA and I would have not known the difference. She could have pointed out the baby's leg and foot and it could have been the country of Italy for all I know.
Needless to say, we're looking forward to Level 2 appointment on July 8th. Regardless, the ultrasound lady seemed to know what she was talking about and it was nice to know all was good and he was growing on schedule.

Don't be freaked out by the 3d ultrasound, it's so cool and you guys should totally do it!
HA! He does look a little like an overhead view of Iceland and Greenland heading up to the North Pole...poor little guy.
