Let's try posting video!

We love that the doctors give us actual sonogram prints, but they're invariably less impressive than the live ultrasound, both because it's harder to interpret the shapes on the stills and because it doesn't capture the motion of the baby. Therefore, I brought my Flip Mino HD to the anatomy ultrasound to get some video. Technically, this isn't allowed, but the technician turned her back. So let's see it!
Here are the baby's legs:

During the scan, the technician periodically takes stills so she can measure various babyparts. That's why there's a split screen here. Some of the motion you see is because she's moving the sensor and some of it is baby wiggling. In each image here, the pelvis is on the right and the babylegs stretch to the left. You can see the leg bones quite well.

Lauren says she can feel the movement inside, but we cannot feel it externally yet.
