We had one ultrasound done when I was 16 weeks pregnant, which is to say, almost 4 months into the whole thing.

The cursor is right next to the little baby nose!

This was when we were using the Kaiser HMO. I really hated their system. A lot of the folks who worked there were okay, but the system was terrible.

The ultrasonographer made a point of labeling this one. It's a face!

Edward looks significantly different now.

At this measuring, I remember being stunned by the fact that Edward's head diameter was the same as the length of his femur -- I think it was about 4 centimeters.

It definitely blew my mind to see this perfect tiny foot. I really couldn't believe there were tiny feet with toes and everything.

We chose not to ask the ultrasonographer to try to determine (or tell us) the sex of our baby. She said that was just as well because this was a shy baby.

And then she labeled this snapshot thus!

Pregnancy is rough stuff, man. I was frazzled by it to be sure. I had a hard time imagining in December that I could possibly get to be much more pregnant... but I still had over a month to go.

You'll note I did actually finish the 7000-piece Catalan Atlas jigsaw puzzle... it's hanging on the wall behind me in this photo.
