Level 2 sonogram

We had a Level 2 Sonogram today, which was a new experience for us.  The doctor was able to check for neural tube disorders and other possible problems.  Thankfully, he said, "The baby looks perfect."
We did not find out the sex of the baby.  We both thought we saw "parts," although I thought I saw girl parts and Jeremy thought he saw boy parts.  Obviously we don't have a clue how to read a sonogram!
The Level 2 sonogram was much clearer than previous sonograms we've had, which was pretty amazing.  We got to see the baby's blood pumping through the 4 chambers of the heart, blood flowing through the umbilical cord, and all kinds of other things!  It was pretty incredible.
Baby's heartrate was 158 at the time, and we measured 19 weeks and 3 days on Friday.  Technically, that would put us a few days earlier than the October 15 due date, so maybe we'll actually come close to it.
