As I posted over in Meg's thread, we had our big anatomy scan this morning! We're still Team Green, but it was so amazing to finally see something more than a little nugget, lol!
Jordan took the printouts to work to scan them and had some trouble, but he finally got them to me. Here's the best profile shot we could get (I ended up laying almost completely on my stomach to get this, LOL!). Sorry it's on the huge side, I'm too lazy to resize and reupload, lol.

The perinatal expert said that everything looked great, and I'm measuring right on track or slightly ahead of track. So all is well! It was amazing to see the arms and legs and everything moving around in there, since I still haven't felt anything (my placenta is in the front, plus it's my first so I don't know what it should feel like anyway, so they said another 2 weeks or so before I can definitely tell). But after not seeing or hearing anything for 2 months because of the vacation, it was awesome to just know that everything is perfect. Even if Swerbaby refuses to cooperate for just about anything, lol. "He" was upside-down (spine up at my ribs) and all tucked in and content in there, and the tech had a really hard time seeing everything she needed. At one point she left the room and had me jumping around and touching my toes (I did a few karate kicks for Jordan, who was thoroughly amused) and smooshing my belly to try and get him to flip around to make it easier for her. I ended up having to roll around onto my side (and almost entirely onto my belly for the profile shots) so she could check on the heart, lol. Little guy is already being a pain in the rear! :p
So. Yay. :) Pretty much the best anniversary present ever, spending an hour staring at my little baby :)
