1 lb.

So we went to the doctor today. And we had an ultrasound. We've seen fingers and toes and everything looks perfectly normal. My placental fluid is good, my sugars and protiens are good, my weight gain is on target, and my blood pressure is good. So far everything is going very well.


Today's ultrasound is on DVD, so we can see everything in motion. The babies feet are up by his head, he opens his mouth and either yawns or swallows, and he appears to be scratching his head at another point. And yes today we could have found out girl or boy, but we are waiting, so you will notice a strategically placed line on the video. Also the baby weighs 1 lb. today. When you notice the screen seems to be moving...that is either me laughing or the technician poking me in hopes of getting the baby to move for a better picture. At one point the tech measures the head, the second circular measurement is of the stomach, and she takes the heart rate which is 145. At one point the technicians arrow is up near the eyes pointing to a white dot, which is the pupil and the baby was moving all around. The video is broken up into two parts because the technician had to take some other views for her files.

So I will complete this post as soon as I can figure out how to get the ultrasound onto the blog. It is a DVD and it is in a format the blog does not like.
