No mistaking this girl for a boy! She bared all for us! Good thing too - she listens well since I had a talk with her before we went that there was to be no gender hiding games! :)
Isn't the 4-D concept amazing? Every detail is already so clear!
A profile view of our little girl...back to 2-D, but still beautiful
A view of her heart along with the beat pattern - 153 bpm...perfect!
5 perfect toes waving hello to Mom and Dad!!
Another 4-D view that didn't bounce the waves back 100%, which left a "gap" in the ultrasound of her head, but amazing facial features in this one. She looks less than thrilled that we're interfering with her nap!
Another weird gap in the ultrasound waves, but check out the fingers! She looks to have long fingers...and in my opinion, seems long all together! They measured her at 12" back in June on the ultrasound...about 1" - 2" more than the usual! The Jolly Green Giant on our hands? :)
My appointment today was cut and dry - my weight is finally going up, which I am happy about and the doctor mentioned excellent weight gain (but she said I'm still so skinny! (: ). 152 beats per minute today; exactly where she is supposed to be. Oh, and my blood pressure is still lower but perfectly normal at 110/66. That's the first time I've seen the top number more than 100 in a long time actually which could account for why I've been feeling better and less light-headed these days. There is a lot of discomfort in my right side where my surgery was with the stretching of the uterine muscles but the Dr. said that would be expected. I kind of wish it would spread between both sides though and give that one a rest! I had someone ask me with no prompting or anything how are along I was yesterday!!! That is a big milestone! I'm finally starting to show enough to look pregnant! YAY! We're still working on a nursery theme to be able to start working in there and getting some paint on the walls. Hopefully we'll come up with something soon because I'm getting anxious to make that room look like a place for her to come home to. I know, it's early, but I'm sooo ready to start making that side of the house pink! Luckily, Grant is totally into the pink look for his sister so he won't mind that at all! :)
We're talking about paying for one more ultrasound around the middle of next month just for another final glimpse before birth. It's up in the air, but I'll definitely keep everyone informed and post the photos of that one too. It's just about all 4-D with video so we'll get some interesting footage from that one. Especially if she is into playing and squirming around then like she is now. My innards truly get a workout from her hands and feet!!!
