We had our ultrasound this morning and it went well! I was a little nervous after all the strange dreams I'd been having lately that something would be wrong with the baby. The tech took me in first to do all the measurements and then asked Carlos to come in at the end and she sowed us both the baby. The baby was on its stomach, but we got to see the head, face, heart beating, the spine, and both arms and feet. It was SOOOO awesome! Seeing the little hands and feet were so cute! She said the baby measured 20 weeks, 1 day, which is exactly where it was supposed to be! She said the baby weighed about 12 ounces, which is exactly where it is supposed to be.
It was so awesome to see our little one, we even saw it punch at one point! Too cute! And, it turns out the midwife was right, my placenta is in the front, which explains why the midwife had a hard time finding the heartbeat at our last appointment. That also explains why I haven't felt the baby move yet, it may take a little longer until the movements get stronger since the placenta is in the way.
This pic is of the baby's face on the left, with its fist up to the face on the right... a little hard to make out. And the second photo is a profile view with the head to the left of the picture.

I'm so very happy that all went well and that you can put some of your worries aside for the time being. I loved seeing the beating heart...
Yay for first baby photos! :D
