We had another ultrasound today and everything is still looking good. The heartbeat is 144.5, which is within the normal range for 17 weeks. We were hoping to find out the sex of the baby today, but no such luck. We have a very modest baby who kept their legs closed and covered up their private parts with one of their hands. Our next appointment is in another 4 weeks, so we'll have to wait until then to find out the sex. Unfortunately, the ultrasound video is hard to make out. The wand-thingy was moving around quite a bit as we were trying to knock the babies legs apart. Here are some movies and a picture I was able to get out of the session.
