Yesterday it was time for the ultrasound examination, that here in Sweden usually takes place around week 18. It was the coolest thing to see our little family member scratching it's eye, playing with the umbilical cord and the heart beating. I was nervous before we went, but everything looked good. Here are the two pictures we decided to buy. The little one was not very prone to show us it's best side, but it's still cool to have seen it moving around.
1. Most of the body, but not so much of the head. 2. Here it is playing with the umbilical cord. The five fingers of the hand is easy to see as well a the profile of the face. Does it resemble Matts or me?
We do not know if it's a boy or a girl and prefer to keep it a secret for everyone, including ourselves, until the baby is born. I have a friend who got pregnant in the US, and without asking if they wanted to know, they were told that they were expecting a boy. Here in Sweden you usually have to ask to be told if you want to know and sometimes, if it's not clear enough, they might not tell you anyway. Different cultures.
