14 week ultrasound pictures

We had our 14 week ultrasound today and as you can see from the pictures there has been allot of progress made! The ultrasound machine they used today wasn't the most state of the art so they are not quite as clear as the others but they definitely show how much it has grown.

You can now see the face, arms, legs, ribs and back bone very clearly. In the first picture you can see the face clearly, facing the camera. You can see the ribs and back bone very clearly in the second picture. The hands are pretty clear in the fourth. It's hands were above its head most of the time, waving a lot. We could see the fingers as well.

It was moving around very quickly, surprising how much movement there is at this stage. The doctor says it's an "active" one and will probably be quite a "kicker." Katia can't feel the movement yet because it is just too small to make itself felt but that will be changing very soon.

We don't know yet if it's a boy or girl, but the doctor said that we should know at our next appointment which is in about a month (and the machine we'll use is the better one) The development stage is now over. All organs and limbs are formed it's just growing and growing!

Post some comments and let us know what you think!

New Year's Update

Hello All! We rang in the new year with flu's and head colds....on the mends now and looking forward to the next 6 months. I (Katia) am officially in my second trimester now and our little fetus is about the size of a plum. =) Our next doctor's visit is on January 16th so we'll keep everyone informed.

Due to a some requests we've received about making lists of items we'll need in the near future, Josh and I have done some research and created "Amazon.com" and "Target" baby registries. We've carefully chosen specific items based on safety ratings and reviews, so hopefully that helps.

Above are some pictures of our ever-loving furry children. They are just a hoot to watch every day and are more cuddly and loving than we ever expected. We also think Trina has some sort of sixth sense about the little one growing in my belly because she is constantly cuddling up to me, seemingly warming me or just trying to sit on my belly like a little incubator.

We hope everyone's healthy and wishing everyone a bright and prosperous 2009!!

Here are the links to our baby registries. They can also be looked up by either of our names.
