We had our second scheduled check up for the baby last week. They did the test for Downs Syndrome and other abnormalities. It is amazing that they can test for these things by measuring the skin thickness on the back of the neck on a fetus that is only 2 inches long.

When they first started the ultrasound you could clearly see it laying peacefully on its back. I thought to myself, “How adorable the baby just lays there peacefully in the womb at this stage.” As soon as I was done running that thought through my head, one of the baby’s arms shot out to the side and the baby began to roll over. It did not stop there the baby did a few turns and flips and at one point was standing on its head. This was great for us as we got to view the baby for about 10 minutes while the ultrasound technician tried to get the baby into the correct position to do the test. It was absolutely amazing.

So I leave you today with new photos of our little gymnast.
