We had our second ultrasound today, and I can’t tell you how much fun it is to get an “inside” look at what Bun is up to. He/she is developing beautifully, and now weighs in at 2lbs, 8 oz. Bun’s heartbeat was measured at 138 bpms and our due date of June 17th seems right on. We had to look away a number of times so that we didn’t see Bun’s sex, but we got to see all sorts of other fun things – the cerebellum, the 4 chambers of the heart beating away, and even Bun’s fingers and a foot. At one point Bun had his/her hands in front of its face, like a boxer, with one foot up near it’s forehead (that little mofo is AGILE – I was so impressed!) and later on we got a couple of great profile shots, as you can see. We got the one profile shot and then Bun decided that that was as good a time as any to practice its sucking and swallowing reflexes, so we got to see Bun opening and closing it’s little mouth. Hence the photo titled “Mouth Open.” The photo looks a little weird, but it was SO FREAKING CUTE. And then Bun did an about face, and turned his/her back to us, as if to say, “All right, enough already.” And that was it. We’re such proud parents. :)
