So as you know the site was down and I had nowhere to communicate everything that has happened! So where to start!

I had my prenatal appointment with Dr Buie. My mom came and got to hear the baby’s heartbeat first hand! I got the ultrasound report and here are the details! When I had the ultrasound when I was 20 weeks pregnant and 1 day….so that abbreviated looks like 20+1….so I am sure that you can all figure out this info that I am about to give you now! So first of all they said that everything (bladder, kidneys, stomach, heart, cerebellum, spine etc) looks normal and that no anomalies were seen. There are average measurements associated with every single day of a baby’s life inside. So they made an estimate on how old the baby is according to the measurements. They measured the across the top of the baby’s skull and that measured 49 mm the equivalent of 20+4, the head circumference 178mm equal to 20+2, abdominal circumference 164mm equal to 20+6, the femur (the long bone in the top portion of your leg) length 34mm equal to 20+6. So with those measurements they estimated the fetal age to be 20+5. So in other words my due date is correct and the baby is growing at a good rate!

The baby weighed approx. 396 grams = 0.87lbs

The amniotic fluid (the fluid that surrounds the baby) = is a normal and healthy amount.

I managed to gain 7 more pounds!!!! This is great because it takes me to a healthy weight gain for the pregnancy!

So that is all the technical information I have to report!

Erik came over and outlined Peterpan and does it ever look amazing! Here is a picture!

Here is a pic of my belly last week…I know I know….black is not a good colour for me!
