Ultrasound

Today was the ultrasound. Moya wasn't very cooperative but we still got some great pictures. The technician was really patient and great and did all she could to get all the measurements for the test and get us some pictures. She even broke out the 3D ultrasound equipment as you can see!! We weren't expecting that.

It was so amazing. We got to see her move in 3D. AND... We saw her smile!! Even the technician saw it so it wasn't just us silly parents.

She looked so cute and had the biggest ole cheeks! She looks like Belle did as a baby. Very strange to get to see her so clearly before she is born.

As for the test results. She's doing just fine. She weighs about 2 pounds 4 ounces right now and is in the 71 percentile. Right on target apparently. The reason I'm measuring big they said is because I've got a lot of amniotic fluid in there. They said that is fine too and that fluid will often increase right before the baby does a big growth spurt. She also said that since I have a history of having a bigger baby that I probably will with this one too. They said they expect my doctor to be sending me back for another ultrasound as I get closer to my due date. :) Fine by me!

We also asked her to double check the gender but of course Moya was keeping her legs together but the technician did say that from what she could see she didn't see any signs of um... boy parts. :) That she still looked like a girl to her and that if we got a 'girl' report last time then we're probably having just that, that they don't give people a verdict one way or the other unless they are really sure.

Anyway, so wonderful to get to see her again. And at least we know one thing about her already... she's gonna be beautiful, just like her big sister. :)
