It was another exciting day at the doctor's office! :-) The first thing we did today was an ultrasound where we were able to see the baby in 3D (picture attached). The baby LOVES to have the hands and arms up by the face. The ultrasound tech was really pushing on my belly with the wand to get the baby to move the arms but to no avail. So you get to see a portion of the face along with a nice big arm! ha. I have several pictures like this so I am only posting one. Everything is looking great. The heart is good, the baby is breathing (abdomen is moving up and down --that's a good sign she said), the measurements are great. Everything is GREAT! The baby is measuring a little bit above average for this time and they guesstimate it to be around 5lbs, 2oz right now. Wow! I wouldn't have thought that at all. I have 6 weeks left to grow.
The only thing they are going to keep an eye on is my fluid level in the sac. It's on the low side of normal. They suggest to drink MORE water ---(I drink tons already!!) and rest. So, THAT I will do.
My cervix is rockin & rollin --still feels thick and unchanged from last week. We did perform the fetal fibronectin test again and I'll have the results of that tomorrow. Hope for NO protein!
I gained a pound finally--probably because I am getting my colitis in check now. Yay. Blood pressure is normal at 108/70.
Does the baby in the ultrasound look like a boy or a girl??? I think boy and Rick thinks girl! :-)
We need to get that BOY name worked on. The ball is in Rick's court since I've given him 20 different choices that he doesn't like! :-)
The girl name is set and has been set for months. BUT we are not sharing........... it's another surprise. I love surprises, don't you? hehe
Next appointment is Thursday, July 30th @ 2:50pm.
