20 Week Ultrasound



















Today I had my first real ultrasound. Since Elijah had off school and I had off work, I was able to take both the kids to get the first glimse of their little brother or sister. We did not find out what the baby is going to be, sorry guys, we like to be suprised. It was amazing as always. The coolest part was getting to see the baby open and closes its eyes, I have video footage of this as well, it was way cool. The baby is long for its gestational age of 20 weeks, they could not get an exact measurement for me due to how the baby was curled up. But the baby is weighing in at 13 ounces, or just over a can of soda. The ultrasound lasted 2 hours and 15 minutes, and we got to see the babys heart, the four chambers to the heart, legs, arms, fingers, feet, ankles, toes, face, spine, and organs. We got to see the kidneys ect. It was cool and everything appears to be normal so far.


I also had my doctors appointment today and my sugar levels have been controlled with diet so all is going well on that front as well. The babys heart rate was 134. Next appointment is Nov 7th.
