This morning I had another ultrasound and thus another chance to see my baby boy dance around the screen in black and white. I feel closest to him during these moments and as the tears slowly roll down my face I forget about the to do list that haunts me or the not so pleasant pregnancy symptoms that plague me. I thought the tech was just going to check the heart outflow tracks and be done, but instead she basically re-did the 20 week ultrasound and measured everything.
This is what I learned about my baby:
- He prefers to lay on his left side (like his mom).
- He has long legs and arms (like his dad).
- He has the sweetest heart beat I've ever heard... 139 bmp.
- He currently weighs 1 pound, 9 ounces (a little on the large side).
- His major internal organs were easily identified including kidneys, stomach, bladder, heart.
- He does not have a cleft palette.
All good news!!! I see my OB tomorrow morning to go over the ultrasound and do whatever else is required at the 24 week appointment. My third trimester will be here before you know it! I anticipate my next ultrasound won't be until 36 weeks when they will re-measure and size him up!
I have a DVD of the ultrasound so I will get Christopher to capture some still shots and post them later.
