Half way there!!!..... this pregnancy has flown by!
This week was the MUCH anticipated ultrasound.
I could have watched our little miracle move around all day long. After she measured all the stuff in the brain she looked for 2 functional kidneys, 3 arteries in the umbilical cord, and some other critical things- and everything was perfect!
Next she checked for 10 fingers and 10 toes- and no cleft lip- CHECK!
We have another healthy happy baby, but this kid seems to be a lot more laid back- or at least he/she was on the ultrasound. Yes, we found out the gender but it is sealed in an envelope and Chase and I will find out with the rest of the family at the gender reveal party this weekend. Because I am horrible at secrets- I knew I would accidentally spill it. The tech turned the TV off when she checked the gender so we couldn't peek, then sealed those pictures in an envelope for us to take to the lady making our cupcakes.
That dark spot is the heart... 154 beats per minute.- I could have watched it beat all day long.
Like I said this kid is waaayyyy more laid back then Mary Claire was during the ultra sound. The tech for Mary Claire's ultrasound kept saying... "Come on baby!" "Be still baby" "Oh, oh right there... don't move" "Come one, work with me baby"etc. And she hasn't stopped moving since. We should have known then she would be a mover and a shaker. This kid was way more than cooperative, so maybe that means s/he is more laid back. We will see.
S/he is also much larger than Mary Claire was, measuring at over 12 1/2 ounces... WOAH chunky monkey. Not to mention by first ultrasound measured me due Aug 31st and now s/he is measuring due Aug 28. So we have virtually picked up a day of development every month- it's all those fruit snacks.
Praise God for another healthy baby! God is so good!
