Yesterday, Matt and I had our second ultrasound appointment and 20 week doctors appointment! It was so exciting!For the ultrasound they asked me to drink 16 oz. of water an hour and half before our appointment. That was hard! I got all the water down, but by the time we got to the ultrasound office I had to go to the bathroom so bad! We went in the ultrasound room and the tech could see how full my bladder was. She took two quick pictures of the baby's profile and then let me go to the bathroom. Whew!! Then I went back in the room and she took all the measurements she needed. We were there for about an hour. It was so much fun. We saw the heart beating, the brain, the spine, she measured the length of each femur and each humerus. She said that we are right on track for our estimated due date of March 26th and and she said that by the measurements that she got the baby weighs 1 pound 12 ounces (give or take 2 ounces)!! Which is a big baby!! In my "What to expect when you're expecting" book it says the baby should weigh around 10 ounces at 20 weeks! I am hoping that her measurements are off by a few ounces!! Besides that she said the baby looks great and healthy and it was swimming all around in my belly. We had so much fun and had such a great appointment!!
I have included four pictures...
Baby Kelley's little feet
Baby's Kelley's right arm
A profile picture of Baby Kelley; it looks like he/she is getting ready to suck its thumb
Another profile picture of Baby Kelley
They did take a fifth picture of the baby's private parts and put it in a sealed envelope for us. We are going to open the envelope on Christmas morning to find out the baby's gender. She said that she got a clear picture for us. We can not wait for our suprise!!
The baby's heart beat was 150 bpm
Yay Baby Kelley! I really hope its a boy! I am so excited for you two!
