Ultrasound School Day!!

Today we went to the Florida Institute of Ultrasound school for another ultrasound of our little baby. I just love the idea of helping these students with hands on learning, what better way to learn!! Apparently a couple days a week they have classes in the morning and then have volunteers come in the afternoon to practice on. This was a new experience for us but we thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot as well. We had four students and the instructor in the room with us, as well as Troy and Jaime....each student had to take a quiz, of sorts, basically they had to find certain parts of the cervix and on the baby itself. To starters we got to see the baby's clavicle, then they measured one of the baby's ulna's, and then they followed the spine down through to something else (can't remember the medical term) showing the spine ending, then they measured one of the femur bones. Each student did this!! The baby was all fine and still for the first one, hahaha, that didn't last long!! Throughout the session they took some pictures for us and put them on the thumb drive for me. Here's some of the pictures they took:
We have some more confirmation that she is a girl... Definitely no boy parts!!!




























This photo shows her hands.









After the ultrasound I was at work showing a lady at work the pictures when I discovered they gave us some video as well. OH MY GOSH!! I can't tell you how excited I was....
This first one is of her sucking her thumb literally!!! I watch it over and over again. Hope you Enjoy!
