THE BABY IS GROWING SO MUCH!

We had another Ultrasound this morning. The baby is now almost 3 inches long which means it has nearly doubled in 11 days! Baby is now so big that we can't look at its entire body at once with the transvaginal probe u/s. Which surprised the Dr. He said he would use the transabdominal ultrasound next time and he would have this time but it was in use. Instead we had to look at body parts separately. They moved the due date up a couple of days, but said it probably doesn't make much of a difference. I was so surprised to see not only that the arms and legs had gotten so long, but that we could now see hands and feet! Everything seems to be right on target with my "What to Expect" and "Pregnancy Weekly" books.

This time, a lot like the last ultra sound, he/she was moving all around... kicking its legs, flipping from front to back...EVERYTHING. I dont think it is going to be the type of child that likes to sit still and read a book. The baby would also suck its thumb and then pull it out and put it back in over and over again--so precious!

It was sad that I had to go to the appointment without Michael, but nonetheless, we have pictures from the sonogram. Although, the pictures aren't that clear because the little guy was moving around so much.

Again, the appointment was very reassuring. The baby is growing very well and right on target and Dr. Paulsen was confident that the rate of miscarriage is very miniscule, less than 1%, unless I were to fall out of a tree. So I think I'll refrain from tree climbing for a while.

We have another appointment on September 8th and then we find out the sex of the baby on September 22!!! CANT WAIT!!!

P.S. sonogram pictures will be posted soon, but they arent that great of pictures because the baby was moving so it was hard to freeze the frame with out it getting blurry, plus the doctor gave us only pictures of different parts of the body.
