Roughly 8 weeks along

// April 24th, 2008 // family

We went for our second ultrasound yesterday, which was good not only because we saw a better picture and a growing baby, but it was also the FINAL TIME we have to visit the Fertility Clinic.

We’ve been going there for about…a year and a half now, so being able to leave for good was nice.

So we got a new picture from the almighty ultrasound, and the kid is bigger now, and supposedly has little arms and leg stubs growing out. Last week the one I posted had something I thought was his head, but now I’m thinking it was the yolk that the little bugger feeds off, so who knows what I’m seeing now.

But this picture is better.

I’m pretty sure…the little round circle at the bottom attached to the embryo wall is the yolk, and the little peanut shape is our kid.

Judging from the size of the yolk and the kid’s head, he’s sure eating a lot. Reminds me of the pile of chicken wings I ate last night.

    I really enjoy seeing how you describe things involving your future child. “Chicken Wings” “Tyke”

    are you saying all of the food is going to the baby’s head?

    this is truly biology class at its best!

    I think I’m saying that if a baby doubling in size every week or whatever, needs that much food, what the heck am I doing eating the same amount???
