After the ultrasound, I went to another room where I was hooked up to a heartrate and movement monitor. The goal is to make sure her heartrate is stable and that she is moving enough at this point in the pregnancy. After about 20-30 minutes of observation, I "passed" the test, although I think they were hoping to see a little more movement during that time period. We'll repeat this sequence of tests once a week until she arrives in June, so we have a lot of doctor time to look forward to.
Here's a 32-week belly shot. I was really tempted to edit out my bad hair day in this photo!
This is a picture from our last ultrasound 2 weeks ago. Look for the letters "NOMO" (for nose mouth) in the middle of the picture, and then to the immediate right is the tip of the baby's nose with her two little nostrils. It's as if the picture were taken from under her chin.
Here's a picture from today. This is a front face shot. Her forehead is off to the left and you can see her eye sockets, nose, and lips. It almost looks like she's smiling at us. And check out those already plump cheeks (the solid white round semi-circle in the very middle)!
You look great. I'm glad to hear that she seems to be doing well. I can't wait to see you very soon!
ReplyDeleteI wish that I could visualize sonograms better! She does appear to have very chubby checks! I can hardly wait to kiss them! Love, MOM
ReplyDeleteYou look wonderful! I'm curious to know how much Baby Girl's weighing in at. At 26 weeks, Baby Correa was 2.5 lbs. Can't wait to compare baby bumps in person next weekend!! =)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing all your posts. Connor is doing great at swimming and I can't wait for baby girl Courtright to arrive...
