Back from the 'big' ultrasound!

Things look great! The baby was somewhat uncooperative, laying face down - so I have to go back next week, hoping the baby flips - so that can get a better view of the heart. She was able to see most things - the heart rate was at 137, we saw all 4 chambers of the heart, the flow through the heart, the umbilical cord and blood flow, the liver, the kidneys, the stomach and bladder (with fluid in there - good things). She took shots of the brain and a bunch of measurements.... so that is all a big relief to me!


The picture looks a lot to me like our 11 week u/s:

The baby kept on waving it's hand around - too cute. To me it was crazy to see the baby moving around, but not be able to feel anything! The u/s tech was telling me that I should be feeling things soon.

I'm a bit bummed that I'm going to have to go back again next week, but I won't complain too much about another chance to see the baby! The good news is that she was able to see most things, so a bunch of the things I was worried about were answered.

This weekend was nice - my mother's new puppy is a bit out of control. I was glad we decided to come home early on Sunday for a bit of down time. Even though the cabin was fun, sometimes my mom stresses me out (I'm sure that isn't a surprise to other daughters out there).... plus, the friends that came with me introduced me to a game called Pounce. We played for hours at a time! It's a fun and competitive card game... but a bit high energy. I spent Sunday afternoon sitting and knitting and watching TV.
