Why does everything I want to post about happen at the same time? So be sure to look at the post below! So Jeremy and I had our official ultrasound yesterday. Everything went well! We are having a healthy baby.....oh yeah, we don't know what we are having because of Jeremy!! :) But the point is we are having a very healthy baby!! The sono tech said that we are able to rule out any major defects. She showed us the brain, the spine, the stomach, the abdomen, the heart and lots of other things. They all look normal and perfect! So that is a huge relief and blessing. Really the only problem is that the baby is measuring large, and that really is not a problem. It looks like this kiddo has a Thiessen head. I really am not looking forward to that! The head is measuring in the 98th percentile. The day of our sonogram we were 18 weeks and 3 days, and the head was measuring 20 weeks and 2 days! The abdomen and femur were both also measuring about a week ahead (in the 19th week). So I think overall we just have a very large baby, with an even larger head. The sono tech told us our baby weighs 10 oz (300 grams), when the average weight for an 18 week baby is 6.7 oz (190 grams). So there is the update! We are really excited. It was great to see the little guy or girl again. I am convinced it is a girl, but we will see soon enough! The sono tech said she knew what it was...which really made me want to know even more!! But Jeremy stood strong, and I was not happy with him at first, but I am getting over it :). These are the pictures from our ultrasound, and the one off to the side is a belly picture of me taken today.
There is the big kiddo!
That is the back of the head and on the
upper side is the ear.
The face. Not the best pic
This is a better one of the face. I think
babies faces look kind of creepy on ultrasound.
But it is still cool!
Ok the baby kind of looks like Spok in this
picture. It is once again the back of the head,
and you can see the ears on both sides.
Poor kid is destined to have big feet.
The arm and the hand!
