Baby Chastain
So we don't officially know what the baby is, but we will be finding out as soon as baby decides to stop being so shy and flash us already. The last ultrasound baby was too small so they couldn't tell if anything was there (or not there.) Then today baby wouldn't get into the right position for us to see.
Just today I had an ultrasound appointment where they did a full anatomy scan. Baby has all ten fingers and ten toes. Limbs are developing perfectly. The spine looked strong and the heart was beating steady. It was very active so I was in there for about an hour and forty-five minutes with them trying to get pictures of different organs and body parts to make sure they are developing properly. So far, everything looked great!
Baby had it's legs squeezed tightly together so we couldn't really tell if it was a boy or a girl. We could view the bladder (which had developed just fine) and right underneath we didn't see ANY boy parts. Three different techs came in and their opinions were that it was a girl with a slight possibility of a boy who's parts were being squished.
Hopefully at the next ultrasound baby will sprawl out so we can get a clear view. We're both getting very impatient and can't wait to find out whether it's a girl or a boy. Next ultrasound I'll be in Nebraska so Jeremy will be able to attend and we'll find out together what we're having.
Boy or girl, I'm just happy the baby is developing properly and seems to be happy and healthy. Baby is very active and moves around and kicks and punches me 24/7! I honestly cannot wait until I can meet the baby and Jer and I can hug and kiss it.
This is the first grandbaby on both sides, and we know it is already loved by many!
Baby Chastain is due on April 18, 2008. This ultrasound picture was taken today at about 22 1/2 weeks. It's laying down facing the camera and it has both hands in it's mouth. Right as the tech was capturing the picture it tilted it's little head back so you can't really focus too well on the face. Don't worry, I saw it's nose and it does not look like Jeremy's =) Just kidding!

Oh, what a precious little one. I can't wait to hold her, kiss her and spoil her.
