@ziggymama06 Oh! But I wish I had a video! I keep replaying it in my mind... I do have one pic on my phone I cropped already, but actually I wonder if the first shot she got is maybe even a bit cuter?
Anywho, you can see his/her little hand up by their face. 😍

@lachnessmomster Thank you!! I think it was because this was taken at the specialist. They want to do my 20w anatomy scan there as well, and I'm not complaining. The chair I sat in had a pillow under the sanitary sheet and the tech electronically reclined the chair for me while it lifted my feet (it's like a legit recliner)... and they had a ~40/50inch screen facing my chair so MH and I could clearly see everything that was going on, so cool! This was so not like my dr's office. Aaaaaaand the gel was warmed

Oh this baby is part of the family already. They are sitting on my right side in all of the extra room DD carved out, the tech commented that there is plenty of room and fluid on the left and they were welcome to migrate at any time. They refused to cooperate during the ultrasound and sat curled up and breech the whole time. We were able to see all the important bits though. I'm right on track for 14+5 and still have a due date of August 16th. I do have a front sitting placenta, but I have already felt some pretty strong flutters so I'm hoping it doesn't mess with me much. Seeing baby today made everything so much more real. So excited to finally post here!
Had my NT scan today! So glad we decided to do it because otherwise I would have had to wait another 7 weeks to see our little one!

We're having baby boy 3! I really didn't have a preference but honestly I feel like a boy mom through and through so I'm excited. During the ultrasound the tech measured him at over 17 weeks so looks like he's growing just fine. I do have anterior placenta and he just looks squished in there.
@whitneyewell No one here is a trained ultrasound tech, so none of us can tell you the sex of your baby. If the person who reads ultrasounds for a living says it's too early to call, we certainly cannot tell you either. The great news is that you'll find out one way or another in just a few short months when your baby is born.
I had my AS today. The US tech said baby is measuring a few days ahead and is in the 52 percentile. It was amazing to watch the little heart beat away and not only see baby move but feel it too! The ultrasound tech felt it too!
Got to see our little girl today! 18 weeks 5 days. Measuring right on track. The US tech was pushing her and shaking her trying to get her to turn over for a while.Baby girl did not like that and stayed still except to punch
I got a sneak peek at my unexpected appointment this week. She had the hiccups... it was so cute to watch. Hopefully at my real appointment next week I'll get some better pictures.
Baby boy was looking great at the anatomy scan today. They were not able to get measurements on his heart because we wouldn’t cooperate but they said everything else looks great. I’ll get the other measurements in 4 weeks!
I had my anatomy scan today, so many mixed feelings. The streets were completely dead and you had to be questioned by nurses outside before they even let you into the building, security guards everywhere, nurses were putting tape on the floor and having people stand next to them to ensure people arent standing to close to others. Once inside, the waiting room was completely empty. However with all that going on I was just excited to see my third princess! The ultrasound was extremely rushed so I hardly got to see her and I found out this stubborn baby is breech! And I am so scared I will end up having another c-section. I would literally do anything to experience another VBAC like I had with my second. I am so scared she wont move!!! I was also afraid of the placenta placement, with my second I had placenta previa at 20 weeks and was told if it didnt move I would have to have a c section, luckily it moved, but this time she said my placenta is anterior to the right and I really hope this has no effect on having a VBAC or resorting to another C-Section. I know I'm probably just being a HUGE baby about this and overly dramatic! But I cant help myself! I am grateful just to have another perfect girl but c'mon! I want my VBAC!!!!! End of rant. Thank you😂
@mommaofsoontobe3 There's plenty of time for baby to flip, so try not to stress! AND vaginal birth is still possible with breech babes. Think ALL the positive VBAC thoughts. I'm trying to do the same as this will hopefully be my second VBAC as well.
Such a bizarre atmosphere to walk into for an A/S, but I'm glad you were still able to keep your appointment!
My 20 week scan is scheduled for next week. I’ve had it scheduled for a few weeks now. Just wondering with the current atmosphere of everything going on if anyone thinks it would get cancelled? Anyone who’s had it this week.....was your husband allowed to go with you too? The hospitals near us all sent a notice saying no one other than the patient is allowed in.

@lachnessmomster thank you for easing my mind a bit! Some how when my husband tells me not to worry it means nothing but when another momma tells me it makes me feel better! Lol😂 I hope you get your VBAC too!
I had my anatomy scan yesterday. Everything looks good. She nicely posed for this picture.
As we went through all the body parts the US tech got to her feet and asked me "who has the longer second toe?" My poor baby girl got her dad's feet. 😂😭
Baby wouldn't cooperate yesterday for the tech to get a good picture of the heart, or a good profile picture either, so we will be back at some point however, aside from being uncooperative, baby otherwise looked good and I was so glad my hospital let me bring my other kiddo to see his sibling, despite the chaos that is consuming the world right now!
All these sweet faces! @blackgirlmagic I just love it when it looks like they are sucking their thumb. Glad that so far everyone has been able to get in for their appointments
