All went well at the doctor visit yesterday. My blood work, weight, and blood pressure all look good. We got another couple of pictures of "Peanut" except he/she doesn't look much like a peanut anymore. Here's the ultrasound...I've got a head, body, arms, and legs!!!
I'm kind of disappointed in how small these ultrasound pics are once I upload them even though I choose the largest image size. Anyway, you'll have to squint! I labeled the first image with body parts. The second is the same image just without labels. At 6 weeks, 1 day, he/she was 5 mm long. Yesterday at 9 weeks, 1 day, he/she was 26 mm long! "Peanut" grew 5 times his/her size in 3 weeks! That is so amazing to me! My next visit is in 4 weeks, and the doctor says we should finally be able to hear the baby's heartbeat by then! Also, I'd forgotten to post when our due date is...March 30, 2010!
"The Lord called me before my birth; from within the womb He called me by name...He said to me, "You are my servant, Israel, and you will bring me glory." - Isaiah 49:1,3
Just FYI: If you click on the picture, it blows it up full screen for you. Then after you get a closer look, click "back" on your browser and it will return you to the whole blog.
ReplyDeleteJust so people don't have to "squint" :-)
Jess, thanks for the info. My father-in-law let me in on that secret a few weeks ago. I'll say something about it in my next post...which will be next week after our 13 week visit!
