Yay! Healthy, active little Sprout! Our ultrasound today went fabulous. Baby wasn’t as cooperative as last time, but it was more that baby is getting bigger. Sprout is estimated to have gained about 11 oz in the last 4 weeks, so measuring in around 1 lb 4 oz. Sprout also has some long leg bones so doctor thinks baby will be tall.
That’s about it though. No amniotic bands seen, all appendages are there including fingers and toes. Umbilical cord is flowing like it should be and there aren’t any noticeable kinks at this stage. Basically, all good news.
The pictures are about as good as the last ones, but I will post them first, and then I will post the pictures for the last one as well.
Today’s ultrasound:
Baby’s Foot 🙂
Ultrasound on January 3rd:
I believe this is of baby’s hand, but baby moved while MFM was trying to get the photo. C’est la vie.
So that is that. The MFM said that since everything looked good for now, he was going to see us again in 6 weeks instead of 4, so now we have to wait until March 13th for another ultrasound. We still have a few doctors appointments in between there though, so I won’t get to anxious.
Another upside of the delay is that we will have the ultrasound at 28w1d, which is less than 2 weeks before we lost Pixel. I know that it will be a rough time in general for us, but right now, Darrell and I are feeling very, very optimistic that everything is going great and now all we have to do is finish cooking and pop this sucker out and we will be bringing home our baby. 😛
I still can’t believe how long this pregnancy is feeling. I keep noticing that I still officially have about 18 weeks left but it feels longer since I have been pregnant for 12 of the last 15 months. I still have 4 more months to go though! *sigh* It’s all worth it right? 😛
