Well, we had our big ultrasound today, but turns out it wasn't the only "big" one we will have. The girl doing the ultrasound said the baby was just not cooperating and wouldn't give us a profile shot. Baby sure was moving around a lot though, just not in the right direction. The "biscuit" was making it very difficult for her to capture any good photos. She told us we were going to have to go back for another ultrasound anyway because right now my placenta is low. She said it is nothing to be concerned about and it happens to a lot of women. She said over 90% of the time it will move up to where it is supposed to be. I asked her what the risks were of having a low placenta and she said it could just cause higher risk of bleeding and if the placenta doesn't go up at all then I would have to have a C-section. So we will go back for another ultrasound (not quite sure when; Dr. Krohn will tell us on Friday at our appt.) and hopefully we will have a more cooperative little one so we can get some better pictures!
You can see the head and the spine really well in this one. The baby's face is facing downward. She told us it was a good thing we didn't want to know the sex because she said she wouldn't have been able to tell us today. The baby's legs are all curled up and crossed and squashed up together!
Another one of the head and spine. We're not sure if this one has an arm (elbow) in it up by the face or not.
She took this one because you can see the leg bent at the knew down to the lower right hand side of the picture. She even had me get up and go to the bathroom and roll onto my side to see if the baby would change positions, but it just wasn't having it!!!

Fun fun! Those pictures are awesome. Hopefully next time the baby is a little more helpful! :-)!
Wow! Beautiful! I had placenta previa with Olivia--not a big deal! Look at how quick and easy my labor was with her and how wonderful she turned out!
