We went to the hospital this morning for our 20 week ultrasound, and got to spend about 45 minutes looking at the Littlest on TV. This was the anatomy scan where they check everything -- head, eyes, nose, heart chambers, kidneys, bladder, diaphragm, stomach, spine, arms and legs, fingers and toes. We watched our Little One kick and wiggle while the technician recorded all the vital stats. Everything looks good. It's little heart is beating away at about 171 beats per minute. We made sure the tech knew that we didn't want to know the sex, but I'm not going to say it wasn't tempting to take a peek and see if we could see anything. But we stayed true to our decision, and Baby Clem remains a mystery until the big unveiling on D-Day in February.
Here are a few pics of the Littlest from this morning. They aren't great...just profile shots. The Littlest is laying on its back, and the head is at the left side of the picture facing up. In the first one, you can kind of make out an arm in the center of the picture, and a leg bent up on the far right side. I know, I know...it's kind of a baby Rorschach test. Please don't feel bad if it just looks like a black and white blob to you...it kind of does to us too.

Hey! Congratulations! I'm blog hopping this a.m. and it is so fun to come here and see your great news. You and Tami Barnett must be due around the same time. We will pray for you in this time of great anticipation! Love, Kari Coppinger
Hmm...based on the baby's heart rate I want to guess that you're having a girl, but based on how you feel I'd guess you're having a boy!! Going by the baby's heart rate is a little more scientific, so let's just go with a girl. The heart rate will typically get slower as your pregnancy continues, but Shelby's stayed at 150 or higher. Keep us posted on how things are going!!
Love you bunches!! Suzanne
