Or is it sonogram pictures? Regardless, here they are.
Prior to the ultrasound I had been trying not to worry about the number of kicks I had been feeling. I kept telling myself that I could only remember what it was like with Sarah towards the end and that she had been very strong anyway, but I knew that Matthew had felt her kicking before twenty weeks and he hadn't this time. I had only been feeling kicks right when I laid down at night, but at least I had been feeling them.
So, I was a little worried going in to the ultrasound, but staying calm for the most part. Almost the first thing out of the technician's mouth, though, was, "Has anyone talked to you about your anterior placenta?" Basically, the placenta is at the very front of the uterus this time, so it is acting as a pillow when the baby kicks. That's why I couldn't feel it as much, but there's absolutely nothing wrong. Now I'm feeling it throughout the day, which is awesome.
We happened to catch it yawning. It was so adorable. The first picture is of the yawn, but it looks like a big grin. I'm hopeful of having a smiley baby this time around as a result.
I found the whole experience amazing yet again. Watching all of the measurements and seeing the details was fascinating.
Neither of us found out the gender this time around.
