30 weeks 5 days

We had an ultrasound yesterday to follow up and make sure Rudy is growing properly. Buddy couldn't make it, but Mindy was kind enough to come along and I'm so glad she was there. We got out first glimpse at what Rudy is going to look like...

At least we know she is definitely Buddy's child, am I right? That cute face should be arriving somewhere around Christmas, according to my doctors. Other than a slightly early delivery, she is perfect. Her growth is exactly on track and all her organs and body systems look great. We got a lot of compliments on her heart. It's so hard for me to believe that the little flicker we saw back in June is now this amazing four-chambered organ. Awesome.

And in case you were wondering what Buddy looks like when he is a little irritated and trying to make a point, this is a picture of Rudy after they tried to make her move so they could see her spine.

Ha. Well, it's either that, or Rudy making her best duckface for the ultrasound tech. My next appointment is on November 26.
