More Emma pics

Here are a few more pics from our ultrasound. It just really doesn't capture how much you can see when you are there and viewing it "live and in real grayscale"! Anyway, we'll have the real thing here soon enough! How cool is that?!?

The first image shows the bottom of two little tiny feet. Her right foot is on top and you can tell that each little toe gets bigger as you go down. Her left foot is not as easy to make out, but I'm sure she has all five digits! :)

The second image shows a profile from her right side, you can easily see her spinal column with her head over toward the right. She is face down and the light-colored (white) area below the right most (upper) end of her spinal cord is her jaw. To the right of her jaw you can make out an eye socket and to the left of her jaw is a thin, dark colored vertical line that is her mouth.

The next image shows a tiny little hand with a thumb sticking up and fingers slightly curled. Unfortunately it's all the way over to the right of the image, but hopefully you can still make out a hand from this.

The next image shows her little arm and you can really make out the bones in her hand and fingers. It's easy to see that she has two light-colored bones in her lower arm (radius and ulna) and one in her upper arm (humerus)...just like she's supposed to!

I wish we had some pictures showing her heart and even better if we had a little video clip of the heart pumping away. That was really neat to see.

That's all the pics we have that are worth sharing. The others are similar or even harder to decipher. We are very proud to be having a girl and can't wait to see her face to face, bring her home from the delivery, and hold her.
