It's a Boy!!!
Sean and I had our 18 week anatomy ultrasound on Wednesday and were so excited to find out that Baby McZimm is a boy!!!!! More importantly than that, however, the ultrasound tech checked all of Baby McZimm's body parts and organs to make sure he is developing correctly and she said Baby McZimm looks very healthy! We saw his spine, the bones in his arms and legs, his stomach, kidneys, and all four chambers of his heart which was beating like crazy! She also measured his head, his abdomen, and his thigh to make sure he was growing proportionally, which he thankfully is.
Once again our baby was moving around during the ultrasound, but instead of turning to face the camera every time, he was apparently camera shy and turned away from the camera every time the tech moved the ultrasound wand. When she tried to look at his spine he flipped around and showed his belly. So then she'd try to get a picture of his heart and he would flip around again. Fortunately the tech was very patient, and we got all the pictures she needed. The only picture we weren't able to get was a good one of his face. We have a couple profile shots, but every time he faced the camera directly he would put his little hands up in front of his face and block our view! At the end he decided to use the placenta as a pillow so we couldn't get a 3D photograph either. That is ok though, I always think those are kind of creepy. I guess he wants to keep his cute little face a surprise until we meet him in person which is fine with us! :)
