Now that I’ve built up these ultrasound photos so much, I know you’re going to be disappointed. I know I was. But posts like yesterday put it all in perspective — my baby looks healthy!
Here is our attempted profile shot:
I was so spoiled after Emma’s first ultrasound photo. Isn’t it just too perfect?
Unfortunately, Baby B #2 decided to get all snuggly with Mommy’s placenta during the photo and video portion of the visit, which means we got great photos of the back of his/her head, an ear, and an arm.
We did get a quick grin, but I admit this photo is a bit scary without all the baby chubs:
The good news is Baby cooperated fully for the measurements. Everything looks right on track and there wasn’t “anything suspicious.” I saw a little heartbeat, piggy toes and very busy legs. Daddy claims to have seen something else floating around, but he said that last time too. We both did, and now we have Emma! I guess I’ll let him think what he wants… ;o)
My doctor’s appointment was the day after my u/s, so we had lots of reassurance that all is well. I gained 2 lbs, which puts me at 8 lbs so far, and I measured at exactly 20 weeks. Heartbeat was strong at around 144. I remember Emma’s heart rate being faster, so I don’t know if that indicates sex or not, but I have to admit I’m getting curious. My “gut” says boy, but my girl name just feels right. That’s exactly what happened with Emma, so I don’t trust my instincts at all.
Any guesses?
