We finally have a due date, and after all my fretting about it, it was the date I had figured in the first place! Funny how that works! Beside finally having a due date, we also got to see the baby. I was surprised how much had changed since our last ultrasound when the baby looked like a jelly bean with a heartbeat. Baby definitely looks like a baby now, and was blocking it's face with it's arms.  It was very clear that there were arms, legs, hands, though the fingers weren't really visible, and the outline of some of the facial features. The heartbeat was very strong at 173 bpm, which Lucy thought was pretty cool to listen to. All in all it was a very good appointment!  I will post pictures as soon as I get the scanner working.
