We had another ultrasound yesterday because my Dr. said I am measuring big. Well, there is a reason. After taking all measurements, the baby is about 5 and 1/2 lbs and is in the 94th percentile for size. We hear the that the baby either doubles in size from here to birth or adds 1/2 lb a week. That would make this baby between 9-11 lbs! These things can be off by a pound either way. Josh asked to make sure there were not 2 in there. :)
The ultrasound was amazing. We actually saw the baby's face! It was like a photograph. We went back to it several times. Round chubby cheeks, Haley's nose, the lips, eyes. So cool! We saw and heard the heartbeat and also saw and heard the blood flow through the umbilical cord. Truly incredible! Heart rate is 131. Normal resting rate is between 120-160. Some say a slower heartbeat is boy and faster is girl...a boy in there?
We saw his/her big round belly, legs, hands, feet (look a little big like Dad's). The tech said the baby had nice long legs...umm...not from my stumps!
Needless to say it was a wonderful appointment. When we meet with the Dr. we'll go over all of it and see what it all means for birthday, etc.
