Pics of My Baby (big Ultrasound Day!)--it's A....!

So I'm 20 weeks 6 days pregnant (EDD is
Dec. 12), and yesterday was my big
ultrasound. Just thought I'd share with
everyone here:
The main thing is the baby is healthy and
normal...
And I was right! It's a girl! I've had
strong girl vibes since the beginning of
this pregnancy, and I guess my intuition
was correct. We are thrilled with a
healthy baby and to be having a daughter.
Now, we need to decide on a name! We had
a possible boy's name all picked out, but
we need to go back to the name books for
the girl's name!
The heartbeat was 158 bpm, and she weighs
12 oz. She is measuring right on time.
She wasn't terribly active at the
beginning of the ultrasound though she did
yawn and get the hiccups. But when the
tech was trying to snap shots of the face
profile, she started moving about and then
turned herself over.
Here are the best pics:
Full view of the body (probably my
favorite shot):
Profile shot of the face (she was moving
& it was hard to get a good pic):
And the money shot--of course, some
resolution is lost scanning in the image;
a little arrow between the legs points to
the girl parts, it looks like 2 hamburger
buns with a patty between:

Thanks! No, we're still thinking of
names. We did have a boy's name picked
out, but nothing for a girl. We're
thinking about Molly maybe but still need
a middle name, and nothing is set in stone
yet.

Beautiful she looks very comfy in there.
only 17 days until my 1st Ultrasound!
(Do you still need to have a full bladder
for the 20 week one?)

Oh man, sorry to ask so many questions but
does that thing get pressed hard on your
stomach, I'm scared of having to go really
badly and ruining the scan because they
can't get pictures. Plus they want me to
bring an early morning urine sample (my
appointment is 9.00am) so I'll need to
drink loads.

The ultrasound does not hurt at all. They
just run the thingy over your belly. Kinda
like someone running a hand over your
belly. No pressure at all.

I did not need a full bladder for this
ultrasound, nor for the one they did at 11
weeks (that was also abdominal). I think
a lot of it depends on the quality of
equipment they have, I'm also pretty thin,
so maybe that makes a difference. I
guarantee you, I peed like 5 minutes
before this u/s was done!
