Baby Huckford Tminus 147 days +/-

Katie and I went to visit the BC Woman's Hospital today, as our midwife made us a referral appointment with a doctor there. To our surprise, this visit included the detailed ultrasound that we were schedule to do on Wednesday.

At first I was not to impressed, since this was similar to the quick ultrasound we did a month ago to find the heartbeat. The technician said things like... "there's the stomach, the kidneys, ..." and to me it look like I was back in High school looking through the microscope into a petri dish of full of ameba's.

Yet after a couple of minutes of the technician rotating and scanning further, I started to get the orientation of the screen and how the image was rendered (some cool CAD/CAM software working here!!). It was then pretty clear, where you could see the heart, including all 4 chamers, the spine, ribs, legs, feet, toes.

Overall, the outcome is that all is well with baby Huckford and mom. Everything is normal, though at times it looks like you're watching scenes from Aliens, and as expected.

Here are some pics:

Our kid is the cutest!!
It even has the z-z-z-z coming out of its mouth when it sleeps


That's a foot and leg.
Our kid is currently a bigfoot! Its Foot is 27mm long and its femur is 29mm.
They said this was normal (I hope so!)
