Today was our full ultrasound to make sure baby has all his parts and is growing normally. I had to drink 3 full glasses of water 45 minutes before the appointment. This was super hard since I struggle to even drink three glasses in the whole day!! But I did it and now the bathroom will be my best friend every thirty minutes or so for the next couple of hours!!
The tech kept telling us over and over again how wiggly baby boy was being today! His heartrate was 160, and she said based on the measurements she took today, he is 13 ounces. He has both kidneys, four chambers in his heart, we saw his little stomach, his diaphragm, lots of parts of his brain, all of his arm and leg bones, and we even got to watch him yawn!! I was impressed about how much information the tech knew about what she was looking at on the screen. I was glad I had taken anatomy and physiology so I had an idea about what she was talking about too!! (I guess that class DOES come in handy....) Everything sounded good from what she was saying and from what I understood. They take all these photos and measurements and send them to the radiologist on staff and then he sends the information he gathers from them on to our doctor who will discuss it more with us at our next appointment in April. :) It was good to see Baby Boy again, especially since he was moving around so much. Seems like he is having a good time in there.
