Ultrasound Video, 13 weeks

Well, the news is out! I told my work on Friday, and they reacted better than I could have ever expected. We told some friends over the weekend, and today I had an ultrasound to do standard prenatal screening tests. The doctor thought everything looked good, and we'll know more at the end of the week.

Since Brad wasn't able to be there, the ultrasound tech took a DVD of the whole thing for me. She even did the 4D ultrasound feature for a part of it, which I didn't expect! She just needed to take a small measurement at the back of the baby's head, but Baby G was not cooperating. It worked out GREAT for me, because I ended up with more than 15 minutes of footage of the little guy or gal squirming around for the camera. I edited it to 5:30 minutes, don't worry. The doctor said our baby is "very photogenic," and that you usually don't see images this good at 13 weeks! (Can you tell I'm already a proud mama?!)

Here is a link to the video so you can watch it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAl-x_3viBk

And here is the embedded video, in case you'd like to play it on the blog:



I narrated it to make what you're seeing a little clearer. I may have gotten some of it a little wrong (like at one point I say the baby is facing backward when I think it's actually facing forward), so don't pay too much attention to what I'm saying. :)
