21 Weeks and Level 2 Ultrasound

We have made it to 21 weeks!  I am so excited.  Our little one weighs 1 lb and it doing well!  We went in for a level 2 ultrasound yesterday to check on baby's heart.  They couldn't get good pictures because the baby is breech and my placenta is anterior (on the top of my uterus).  So, we went 2 hours north to the maternal fetal medicine place for a level 2 scan.  I laid on the table for 1 1/2 hours while 3 seperate people poked my belly with the ultrasound wand and we still couldn't get any shots! 
Baby is showing us who's boss around here.  No determining the gender again!  3 ultrasounds now, and no gender shots!  What gives?  We got some beautiful profile shots though and baby was kicking like crazy!  It was weird to see the arm or leg move and feel it at the same time.  Baby was not happy with us for putting them through another ultrasound. 
We go back in 8 weeks!  8 weeks!  Who waits that long?  It'll be the week before Thanksgiving before we get to see baby again.  Frustrating!  I do go to the OB in 3 weeks so maybe he'll get us in for a regular scan and we can see something!  It is nice to know that the baby is growing well, and doing well.
I am going to post some pictures of the baby.  All side profiles since that is all baby will give us!  In one the baby is laughing at us, it's almost like she's saying HAHA!  You're trying to get pictures of me?  I don't think so!  And of course we have a hand in the mouth picture.  Baby loves to suck on his hand.
