Baby Peanut is about 8.5 inches long (apparently the size of an ear of corn, per my "What to Expect When You're Expecting" app) and weighs about 1.5 pounds.
We had our "official" sono at the doctor's office about 2 weeks ago (21 weeks along) and so far, so good. The baby's weight was at the 95th percentile, with legs in the 86th percentile - definitely a Frizzell baby. Heart rate was in the 150's. We (well, mainly I) decided not to find out the gender of the baby until he/she makes it's arrival. So against my typical type-A, ultra-planner mode, but I love surprises (and this baby was for sure!), so why not continue the surprise! Mike jokingly said he was going to pay off the sonographer to find out (he didn't).
The following week (22 weeks along), Kay at the DPRC (the pregnancy center we volunteer at), graciously gave us a 3D/4D sono. We were able to have both sets of grandparents there to see little Peanut, which was so fun! Here's one of the best pics we got:
There's a little umbilical cord close to his/her face, but I think it's so cool how you can see ears, a nose, a sweet little mouth, closed eyes and a round head.
