20 Week Ultrasound

This morning, Finnur and I headed to the diagnostic department at the women’s wing of the main hospital for the 20 week ultrasound.  We were greeted by a seasoned ultrasound pro, as well as a student, and for the next twenty minutes or so, all major body parts, as well as individual organs were found, assessed, and accounted for.  To make a long story short, everything looked fine and we were given the green light.

Of course we left with a few pictures in tow: 🙂

Here we have the classic ‘I’m sucking my thumb’ picture. 🙂

The underside of a foot, with toes and all. 🙂

The slightly Tim Burton-esque ‘You can see my pupil lens (eye-stone, augasteinn), and some of my teeth!’  There’s hand under the chin.

Of course we asked about the sex (or well, Finnur did.  I wasn’t coherent enough to remember!) and it’s a….

…GIRL!! 🙂

Estimated due date: 23 February 2013.

After the seasoned pro had checked all the items on her list, the ultrasound student got to have a turn, so we had an extra 15 minutes of just looking at the squiggly baby currently baking in my tummy.  Awwwww… 🙂

íhíhí, fleirri stelpur. Fannar og Bjarki verða að standa saman á móti þessu stelpuflóði í framtíðinni. Ylfa minnist á það daglega að “Hebbý er með litla barnið í maganum” svo ég geri ráð fyrir því að henni finnist þetta hið merkilegasta mál. Gott að allt gekk vel!

Já, það verður nú að eins að jafna út kynjahlutfallið eftir að strákarnir tóku yfir kynslóðina á undan!!! 🙂 Og awwww, Ylfa, alltaf svo sæt! 🙂

Wow! I’ve never seen an ultrascan of a baby with an open eye or teeth ….. are you sure this baby isn’t due now!! m

Haha! It’s an illusion, the eyelids are firmly shut. You’re just seeing the echo from the lens (ah, it’s not the pupil, that’s the hole apparently!), like on the images here http://www.ultrasound-images.com/fetal-face-and-neck.htm 🙂
