Ultrasound - 20 Weeks

We had an ultrasound on Wednesday at 20 weeks, it is the "anatomy" ultrasound, where they take a look and make sure all of the baby's body parts are there and are working good. They looked at his brain and took some measurements, we saw his kidneys, bladder, hands, feet, legs, arms, head, body - oh yah - and his PENIS!!!. So that confirms it, it's a boy!! Ed, of course, was glowing the rest of the time there. Here are some pictures from the ultrasound. The first ones are 4D - they were using this "transucer" to get some images of the chambers of his heart, of course, he wouldn't cooperate and roll over, no matter how many times the lady poked at my stomach. So, we go back in 4 weeks for another ultrasound. But they said everything looks good, he's developing on schedule!

Here you can see his face and his arm.
Another one of his face, arm & hand.

This is one of his legs and you can see his feet are crossed.

Another one of his head and arm.

This is the picture that confirms he's a boy.

The picture is taken from the bottom up, so you can see his thighs and in the middle is his boy-parts.


Here is a foot!
And an arm and a hand
The large circle to the left is his body, the small circle is a hand, and then to the right is his face, he is laying on his side.
Another one of his face (looks kind of freaky)
So, my book tells me that at 20 weeks he is 5 1/2 - 6 1/2 inches from "Crown to Rump" and BabyCenter.com says he is 10" from "head to heel", and weighs about 9- 10 1/2 ounces. (depending on which book/Internet site you read)
As of tomorrow, he will be at 21 weeks, so here is the info for 21 weeks:
Weight: about 10 1/2 oz
Length: 7 1/4" from Crown to Rump
Apparently he is about the size of a large banana.
