The ultrasound most people call the 'Big Ultrasound' is where you find out the sex. Naturally, we skipped that part. Here's what we did see, though:

• fluid in bladder meant kidneys were working
• heartbeat was strong at 168 beats per minute
• taking practice breaths
• swallowing
• hiccups
• fluid at top of spine means low chance of neural tube defects
• hands playing with feet
• neck skin good, means low chance of Down's Syndrome
• lenses of eyes
• weighs about 9oz. - 63 percentile
