Why Bunny's Blog?

You may notice that throughout the blog baby is referred to as "bunny". Many people use nicknames like "bean" but I thought bunny was cute.

Ultrasound photos!

Ultrasound photos are pretty much one of the coolest things you get during pregnancy, and having one elective ultrasound I really understand how people justify paying for one out of pocket later in the pregnancy. 20ish weeks is a long time to go without seeing your little one again. An ultrasound is also one of the things that you can show friends and family without things being too weird. Other things like stretch marks, hernias are not so good for showing off. I also know that generally it is hard to tell what you are looking at so I tried to label things so everyone could tell exactly what is what. These are some of the better photos I have from the ultrasound we did to find out the baby bunny's gender at about 17.5 weeks.

This is a nice profile shot where I've labeled the back of the head, the nose and mouth area, and the spine. I'm pretty sure this shot was taken when the baby was eating so he was opening and closing his mouth a lot. 


This picture is of the other end and is looking up from underneath. If it helps you can imagine you sat the baby on a photocopier and made a copy and are looking out at the picture that came out of the copier. The photo shows both legs, an umbilical cord, and boy bits. If you look closely near the arrow, you can even see the balls. This picture is one of the ones I got as proof of the gender.


The last photo is similar to the first where is it a profile of the baby, but he is turned a little so you can see his ribs and even an eyelid, though it is still fused shut for the time being. This picture is a little creepier, as he seems to  have a very large smile.
