Baby Pics!

So, today, we went for a Level I ultrasound. basic stuff to check for Down Syndrome, and the check minor development. We'll have a Level II at 20 weeks or so.

So, we get in the ultrasound room and the tech squirts that icky, sticky gel all over me. There, on the screen, we see Bumble for the first time since she's looked like a real baby, I saw her at a quickie ultrasound a few weeks back but, she kind of looked like a little alien.

When the tech first starts the exam, Bumble is asleep and not doing much. The tech takes the ultrasound probe and starts jiggling my belly. Bumble wakes up, throws her hands in the air and starts backing up against the back of her sac. As little as she is, she starts hitting at the probe! Like, you can see the probe making a dent in the amniotic sac and having never experienced anything like this before, I guess she is freaked out. But, she doesn't just sit there and let this strange thing invade her space, she starts attacking it, like defending herself. It was so amazing to see. I would never think that a little baby, only 13 weeks old would be able to think, strategize and go through with a plan but, that is exaclty what she did.

Time for shameless gushing:

Here is Bumble hitting at the probe that is invading her space. Poor little baby.
And, a womderful shot of Bumble's cute little nose.
