The Latest Fuzzy Pictures

I've finally uncovered my buried scanner to post the images from our ultrasound last week. I know that they can be hard to make out, but here's the gist of it:

1st pic: This was where we learned that Myles was a Myles and not a Rosemary. You can see the little arrow pointing to the significant spot. The two white lines to either side are his femurs.

2nd pic: Myles was hanging out in Allyson's pelvis, so it was challenging to get a facial shot. I had to turn the pic over so that you could make it out more easily. He looks like a little alien, I know, but I think that's what we all look like under ultrasound.

3rd pic: A focus on the heart rate. If you click on the picture to make it bigger, you can kinda see the two parallel lines inside the dotted line. This is looking at his little, healthy, 4-chambered heart, which was beating at 143 BPM. Not a bad ticker, if I may say so.

So the main outcome of our visit to the nurse midwives was that we have a very healthy baby boy on the way. He is tall and lanky for his age, and apparently rather strong as well, since the practitioners were rather surprised that I could feel him move yet.

And, as they put it, "He's a boy, and he's not shy about it!"
