Follow-up Ultrasound

We had the follow-up ultrasound yesterday (if you remember from my last post, the tech wasn't able to get the heart measurements that she needed)... the day was full of awesome: first, it was beautiful outside! Then I got a surprise text from Joey that he would be able to make the appointment afterall! And then the appointment itself went really well. :)

She got the measurements she needed and told us that her heart was "beautiful." She told us not to anticipate any phone calls from the doctor because everything looked perfect (woohoo!)... then she double checked gender again: still a girl! And finally, she did her very best to finally get us some good face pictures! Baby's position and the anterior placenta have both prohibited us from getting a good profile shot or 4d in the past, unfortunately. Last visit the tech didn't get a good shot, and told us she'd try again this week.

And she did a wonderful job! It's not perfect because the placenta was in the way still but we totally appreciate her effort and the glimpse of our baby girl we haven't seen before!

My very first thought when I saw her in 4d is, "That's Madison!" She has her Daddy's nose and mouth, and my chin from what I can see so far. The part of her face that was obscured by the placenta was above her nose so I can't tell who she resembles from that area.

Here are the pictures:

I'm still a girl!

Her sweet little profile (check out Daddy's nose!)

The best 4d image she was able to capture: isn't she a cutie already?!

Stretching her fingers out! <3

Next appointment is in 2 weeks-- just a quick Ob visit, hoping to get some information on the gestational diabetes test! Been feeling really funky after eating sugar and checked my sugar yesterday and it was a bit high.

I also need to get a move on! I have her baby book but haven't filled it out recently (have been going back and doing multiple pages at once).
