28 week ultrasound pictures!

This morning I went for my follow-up ultrasound so the doctor could have another look at the kidneys. The tech actually said they look fine so not to worry.  I wasn't worried anyway; I was just excited to see the baby again and to see how much it has grown.  The tech was wonderful and she allowed my mom to come in to see the screen after she was done taking the required pictures.  I wish I could add arrows and comments on the photos, but I don't know how to do do that, so hopefully the captions will help you to identify what's happening in each photo.

In the top photo, the baby is slightly turning away from the camera and has both hands in front of the mouth.
In the bottom photo, there is one hand in front of the mouth, and an elbow is bent just below the chin.

The top photo is again of the head and hand in front of the mouth.
The bottom photo is a foot.  The tech said the foot is measuring at 2 inches!
The top photo is a lower leg and foot and the bottom photo is the bottoms of both feet.

Both photos are of an arm.
The tech was generous; she said they are only allowed to give out 2 photos.  We were ecstatic.  She was also able to tell me how the baby is lying within my belly and it totally makes sense based on the sensations I feel.  The head is down low and the bum is on the right.  The feet are on the upper left and hands are on the lower left.

My mom came with me because she took a personal day.  Warren couldn't come with me this time, because he obtained a long-term teaching placement that goes until the end of the year!!! We are super thankful and grateful.

Anyway, I continue to feel great and I am so happy this baby is looking healthy.  Less than 12 weeks to go (If I'm on time ;)!
