Everything was measuring right on track and her heartbeat was in the 140s which is good! The ultrasound tech was able to tell her size too and she is weighing 2lbs, 15oz...just 1oz shy of the 3lb marker! Yippee!! She's still in the head down position too and seemed to love nuzzling up with her arm by her face as she slept...I can't wait to see if that's a position she ends up liking after she's born. That would be so cool to see a trait she had in the womb carry through after she's born!
Because the ultrasound is taken through all the fluid, the images are sort of rippley and may require you to use a little imagination! The ultrasound also tends to chop off things...so you may see a hand floating around as if it's connected to nothing, but I promise that all of her limbs are joined together! In both the photos and video, her face is on the left hand side of the screen (just as a reference point).
Ok, so here we go...still photos first...
Here's a great profile shot of our beautiful girl!
Here's another profile photo...you can see a little bit of her arm up near her nose and mouth...
A view from the front (with her sleepy eyes closed) and part of her arm up near her mouth...
Another beautiful profile...
This one shows her calf and foot, with her foot pointing towards the right...with a calf like that, we may have a soccer player on our hands!
And now for the video clips...drum roll please!
In this video, you can see her yawning and her little tongue - so cute!
Here you can see her rubbing her eyes and face with her hands! This was towards the end of the ultrasound and I think we had worn her out trying to get her to turn in different directions for the camera!
In this last one, you can see that she covers her face with her hands...this was the very end of the appointment when she'd truly had enough and was saying goodnight to us...time to go back to sleep!
We hope you enjoy these as much as we do! It's so strange to think that the next time we'll see our little girl is in the hospital! We couldn't be more excited!
Lots of love and hugs to everyone!
