We had our second trimester screening today at Carnegie Women Imaging. It consisted of a sonogram and more blood work (my favorite). The baby was all over the place during the sonogram, doing little somersaults. The wascally little wabbit even waved at us. Although it is only 5 inches and 5 ounces, we got to see it's extremities including fingers, spine and kidneys. We even saw the blood flowing through the body. It is a little surreal to see this little thing inside me looking more like a real baby. It has a strong and healthy heart beat, and everything is looking great so far. I will get the results of the blood next week when I meet with my OB. It stayed still long enough for the profile shot below.
I am doing much better now that I am in the second trimester. Still have the occasional morning sickness, but am relieved that it's not every day. I am really enjoying being pregnant at this time. Belly shots to follow soon.

Glad all is coming around fine! Somersaults! Since you are feeling better, you maybe can enjoy the now, as well as the anticipation. Love, Mom and Anticipatory Grandmom
