Wow. Can't believe we are to this point... I know I say this constantly.
BUT OHEMGEE.OHEMGEE.
Anyways...had an ultrasound to recheck for the echogenic foci. Remember?
So slightly nervous, and grateful that Russ came- we checked the baby out!
Muffin Man looked great! But 36 week ultrasounds are so different than 20 week ultrasounds. Baby was BIG, and things were squished, and it was a bit harder to see anything! But I did see a little chest going up and down, a heartbeat of 144, a sleeping baby with a hand squished up by the mouth, and LITTLE hair whispies on the back of the head. HAIR. On my baby....Squeeeeee! I don't know why but hair feels real!
The tech needed to measure the femur (which was perfect btw) and said you might want to look away because if you're good at spotting the sex-you'll most likely see it. I looked away, Russ stared straight at the monitor. But he swears he saw nothing, I actually believe him considering at one point he was like, "WHAT IS THAT?" And I said, "That's the BABY's face!!!" He doesn't quite get these ultrasounds.
I heard back from the midwife and the foci is still present, but nothing else was out of the ordinary! So who knows because measurements can be off, but this baby had an estimated due date of NOVEMBER 15 (which is EXACTLY what we calculated) and they are guessing the baby weighs 5lbs, 15ozs as of now.
Getting excited, getting excited, BOY/GIRL?, How much weight? When? WHat's the birth gonna be like? HOly crap, let's do this.
:)
Love,
Momma
