We listened to the heartbeat, this time it was much easier to hear. It was 150bpm. The Dr. also measured my stomach and it was right on track. Things look as if everything is going just as it should. She is very active and we are feeling her kick and move more each day.
Here are the latest ultrasound pictures...
yawning in the womb...
good 3d look at her face...
good 2d look...
another 3d image, she's camerashy but very photogenic...
and her foot...
you may notice the gap between the big toe and the little piggie that stayed home, the ultrasound technician called it sandal-foot, some of you on Jeff's side will recognize it as the Segelhorst Spread.
We had our third ultrasound at about 15½ weeks. Our doctor got a new 3d ultrasound machine one day before our last ultrasound. They were not quite well trained at the time so we didn't get to see it in action, but this time they were able to show us how it worked!
We had an appointment today and got to listen to the heartbeat, it was 160bpm. We never got to hear more than 5 or so beats in a row because the baby kept flipping around.
At about 1-1/2 inches head to rump, his/her gestational size is at 12 weeks 3 days. Last ultrasound it was only 5 days ahead, now 10? Sounds like we're having a big baby. On the monitor the baby was very active, jumping and kicking all over the place. The heart rate was seen at 171 bpm.
In this first picture, you can clearly see the forming of the ribcage.
Second picture looks like an alien...
And lastly, here are the legs.
The early early guess is a girl due to the 3 lines and the elevated heart rate. However there is plenty of time for the lines to go away and the heart rate could've been high due to the growth rate and all the activity. We had to promise not to buy anything yet, not even one cheap t-shirt, so don't you go buying anything either.
This blog will track the life of Baby Seeley through birth. Posts will not be made daily, just when something new and pertinent happens... ...unless we feel like posting something old and irrelevant.
