HEALTHY BABY
........no gender reveal for us!! We want to wait until Little Lyle makes it's grand entrance in July!! None the less the scan was still a lot of fun! We had a very uncooperative little one, so it took awhile for the tech to get all the measurements she needed and some fun pictures for us! The tech was amazing at explaining everything she saw and why she was focusing on some areas longer than others. I am in awe of what technology can do...our little one is measuring about 14 oz, it's feet are about 1 1/2 inches long, all 4 chambers of the heart are functioning properly, the brain has 2 equal hemispheres...everything she measured put Little Lyle within the 50-55 percentile, so growing right on track!! This scan gave me great comfort since all along I have been worried about what my seizure meds (along with all my HG meds) might be doing to baby. We know we are not out of the clear until the little on is here, but still seeing the scan was very reassuring!
During the scan Little Lyle kept it's arm/hand in front of it's face, so the tech had to do some {not so gentle} probing...we got a few shots of the face. Little Lyle was also quite the gentleman -OR- little lady because legs were crossed and gender was hard to find...although the tech finally found it and smiled saying "I know what you are having" :-)
It is so fun to look at all the little features and try and guess if Little Lyle will have James' nose or mine, whose eyes, cheeks, chin, etc?! I thought that after looking at the pictures I would be swayed towards boy or girl, but surprisingly I still am not leaning one way or the other. Any guesses???
Little Lyle has been quite active since mid-February and James was able to feel the little acrobat last week!! Now that I know the position of the baby, I can tell what is going on in my tummy...it seems as though scissor kicks seems to be the movement of choice right now! And baby is definitely a night owl.
I thank God constantly for the little miracle growing inside me and I am beyond excited for July!!!!!
Hmmm, I bet you're having a girl! That's how Evelyn's ultrasound was, and the ultrasound tech said that little girls often have their hands up by their heads, and little boys have their hands down between their legs (yes, it's hilarious!) Obviously that isn't a great gender predictor, but it held true for us!
ReplyDeleteHaha, that will be interesting to see if it holds true!
DeleteI'm glad baby is doing well! So excited for you! My guess is boy...
