Shawn and I had our mid pregnancy ultrasound today. It was really long, took about 45 minutes. How awesome though! We got to see just about everything - the brain, the eyes, the nose, the ears, the spine, ribs, hands, feet (too cute), bladder, stomach, heart, umbilical cord, etc. The whole shebang. No spina bifida, no cleft palate, no club foot. All four chambers of the heart were present and accounted for, the umbilical cord was normal. This office had the technology to do the 3D stuff too, so they gave us a few print outs of 3D profiles. It really made this more real than the other appointments have. The baby is measuring in the 68th percentile for size, weighs 10 oz, and measuring 3 days ahead of my due date. The tech said that's totally normal, and doesn't really mean much. Also important, the placenta is where it's supposed to be. In the last two days I thought of placenta previa as a whole new thing to worry about, so I was relieved to find out that it was right in its normal home. So, to repeat what I've been hearing: This is a boring pregnancy. Which is great. Now, I'm just worried about the birth. Based on Kate's experience, easy pregnancy led to terribly difficult birth, while difficult pregnancy led to easy birth. Which brings me to my next point:
Happy Birthday Nuri!
Happy Anniversary Connie and Jelani!
Waiting with bated breath for news from the Gibbens!
Turns out August 19th is a very important day in our CA circle of friends.
