Today's Ultrasound

The good news is, our little monster is still missing her boy parts!

The bad news is, she is measuring 2 weeks bigger than she's suppose to be! And her head is measuring even bigger than that!!!

We went back today for our second ultrasound. It wasn't nearly as exciting as the first one, but it was fun to see the different things that the technician pointed out in the pictures. Bubba wasn't being overly cooperative today. After her overly nutritious breakfast of McDonald's Cinnamelts and a Diet Coke she decided it was time for a nap.

Here are some interesting things that we learned today:

  • Today I am at 30 weeks and 4 days (approximately 66 days until our due date).
  • According to the ultrasound she is measuring at 32 weeks and 5 days.
  • Her head measures in the 33rd week...OUCH!
  • Her head is so far down that we couldn't get a good look at it. The head is pushing on my bladder.
  • She is practicing breathing from time to time and her mouth is moving a lot. One of the pictures they gave us was of her yawning.
  • We could see her heart beating.
  • She had her legs crossed most of the time (here's to hoping they stay that way for another 20 some years)
  • Her hands were in her face. One arm was over her eyes and the other over her mouth.
  • Everything seems to be right where it is suppose to be!

All in all it was a pretty routine visit. It's nice to know that we don't have to repaint the nursery or ask the grandma's to return any of their girly outfits. And most importantly, it's nice to know that this monster growing inside of me that has an enormous head appears to be perfectly healthy!
