Ultrasound #3

So daddy made it after all! Yay!

Everything is looking good. We haven't gotten any official results back (we'll have to wait until the bloodwork is done for preliminary results, and then for some follow-up bloodwork and another scan for final results), but based on the measurements I saw the sonogram technician take, and my knowledge about how these tests work, you should be in a perfectly healthy range.

Obviously, we got to see you again. Although we didn't get to take any video this time. The sonogram technician was nice enough to put some photos on a CD for us, including some 3D and 4D images! That was a new one! The technician noted that you were being "shy" (with your little hand covering your eye/face), but also said you were "very cooperative". The shyness you definitely get from your father... but I don't know where you get the cooperativeness from!

4D ultrasound

This appointment was full of lots of fun surprises and new experiences -- we also got to actually HEAR your heartbeat for the first time! Up until now, we had only ever seen it. Your heartbeat measured in at a nice, strong 158 beats per minute.

You measured a bit ahead again, at 13 weeks and 3 days (you should be at 13 weeks exactly). A little closer than we were at our last appointment. But, perhaps you are just going to be tall like your daddy. I'm just going to have to get used to the idea of being the family midget. Oh well... more people to someday reach things off of high shelves for me!
