The life of the Eiberts: Super Bean!

Okay, time for baby stuff! Today was a fantastic day! We had our level 2 ultrasound. Boy, it was amazing. But lets start at the beginning...

Here is our 7 week 2 day ultrasound picture. Super Bean is on the left and on the right is the yolk sac. You can see the head (on top) and little stubs for hands/feet. I thought it looked like a gummy bear! :) Heartbeat measured at 126 bpm.

Next up, belly photos. I took one every week from 6 weeks on. Each one has some info about how I was feeling that week.

Alright, now that you are sick of looking at my belly... :) Here is a video we took of the heartbeat when we heard it for the first time at 12 weeks 1 day (I started to laugh at the end and couldn't stop! Made for a fun crackling sound on the doppler, lol).

So awesome!! Then today, wow... We had a level two ultrasound to get a good look at the heart since Brian's brother was born with a heart defect. We also were hoping to find out the sex. :) We got to see all of Super Bean's little parts. Bones, organs, fingers, toes, face, nose, bum. It was the coolest thing ever! Made me misty eyed... We even saw all four chambers of the little heart as it was beating. At the end, we asked the tech if she could take a look to see if it was a boy or a girl. She quickly looked and said it looked like a girl but she didn't sound too sure. (I had been watching all along to see if I could catch a glimpse of the "goods" and thought I saw the 3 lines....). The heart rate was 144 bpm. The doctor then came in and went over the bloodwork I had done a couple weeks ago. He said everything came back perfect and healthy! Yay! He looked again with the ultrasound and said he would check for the sex too. He was more thorough and said with confidence that it's a GIRL!! Following are ultrasound photos (2 profiles, a 4D of face and hand, 4D of face, and girl parts!) and my belly pic from today...
