Your baby is adorable.

It’s interesting you can now find out what your baby looks like before giving birth!

Definitely looks like Michelle, though I think it may be the male version too. From what I have talked to doctors and read, I echo Sy’s comments re: ultrasounds of this type, but was also pregnant back when they thought the usual ones could be dangerous, and then had several with my last baby due to health issues, and she would’ve been lost if the Hadn’t had the technology. Plus I felt like I knew her before she ever arrived, in a different way than I had the joy of with the first 2. I love them all equally, it was just a faster track with her, I could see she had my niece’s face, long legs like her dad (the longest the tech had ever seen, the computer at 38 weeks put them as 44+ weeks though it had the rest of baby at 38!)my piano playing hands, etc.
I commend her for being able to hold the guitar and still reach the strings!

lol omg i totally forgot she was pregnant! woops!

I would be surprised if this baby was a girl…I am sure she’s having a baby boy!

Danielle, if you read through the comments, Rye has already answered your question.

Does anyone know if its a boy or a girl?

Wow, wow, wow! That’s awesome!

I agree, from what I can see, s/he looks like Michelle!

By the way, Michelle looks adorable! Pregnancy suits her well.

Answer to lillie: No, that’s not the arm, either a piece of the placenta, or the umbilical cord. At least I hope it’s not the arm.

Answer to Katie: Basically, no one knows yet whether ultrasounds in general are bad or not. There was a huge discussion on it on NPR one day by quite a few doctors. They all admitted that so far there has been no documentation of any long term harm to exposing babies to ultrasound but they also admitted that that’s what people used to think of x-rays on pregnant women back in the day. They all advised women to avoid non-medical ultrasounds just in case, such as the one Michelle has since a 3 or 4-D is not needed to asses growth or other congenetial problems. The main concern with ultrasounds is that they produce and transmit heat to the uterus. My doctor was concerned about the size of my baby and kept sending me to ultrasounds for evaluation and at some point I got worried about the number of times I had been through it and read quite a bit about it. BTW ultrasound technician insisted I was going to have a 8.5 lbs baby and she was only 6 lbs. 12 oz, but completely alert, strong and healthy.

I’ve never seen a photo like that before, is that the baby’s arm? I’m confused!
