35 Weeks - Baby in the Belly

WARNING: This is not cute!! This is the biggest & most uncomfortable I've ever been.

22 Weeks, 1 Day

I now feel our wiggle worm moving on a normal basis...I wouldn't have it any other way...I'm sure in the next couple months the novelty will wear off, but I'm willing to deal with it!

The Dr. confirmed again that it's a girl...she was laying on her stomach in a breech position...once again uncooperative, but ever so normal.

Everything's been going so well we aren't scheduled for another appt for 8 weeks...I'll be 30 weeks at that point with 10 weeks to go.

measurement note: 1lb 2 oz.

17 Weeks, 2 Days

This was probably the best appointment...all measurements were normal, the brain, skull, and spinal cord structures were all forming as normal...HOORAY!!! She's starting to look more like a human here...that's right...I said HER...we're having a girl! (Once again our baby was uncooperative and would keep putting her hands in front of her face...is this a sign for things to come?)

measurement note: 7 in. crown to rump

14 Weeks, 2 Days

At this point we could see the skeletal structure...unfortunately the 3D part of the ultrasound was not working, the baby would absolutely not cooperate & wouldn't hold still during the Nuchal Translucency screening. The Dr thought the measurement was in the high-normal range so had me do a blood test. The agony of the wait was all consuming...it was a huge relief to hear the results came back normal.

8 Weeks, 3 Days

Our first 3D ultrasound and visit with the Perinatologist. He let us know that everything at this point looked well, but that it was really too early to tell much of anything. You can see the little arm & leg buds, the umbilical cord, and the yolk sac.
