Upon being checked in, we found I have actually lost a pound over the past four weeks. I'm at 136 lbs- overall I've gained 20 lbs. I was freaking myself out because four weeks ago I was at 137 and the websites say I'm supposed to be gaining a pound per week. I asked about this and Dr. Lendore wasn't worried about it. He said she's still growing just fine, I've just kind of plateaued for a little bit.
The ultrasound part was amazing. The machine was a little more rudimentary than the ultrasound machine we experienced in the US, the picture not quite as clear, but we still saw everything we wanted to. He went through and made sure Tony could see the various parts and explained how the gestational size was measured. Our baby is a little small; everything measures at barely 31 weeks- the head and arms all proportional. However, her legs are well into the 32 week range. She'll be taller- exactly what I hoped for :) Her legs were muscular too and she was kicking the whole time, making it hard to get measurements. She has at least 5 fingers and 5 toes- those were hard to count haha.We saw the perfect four chambers of the heart and her little face. She has chubby cheeks haha. I never thought I would be so excited to see a baby. I have never really found babies "cute," especially newborns, but I'm very excited to see ours. She'll be cute to us.
I never thought I would do this, but we totally did a baby-bump photo shoot. On one of Tony's personality tests that he had to take at BYU for a class, photographer was one of the jobs along with chef haha. We put his photography skills to the test. I edited using an online site called ipiccy.com. I actually really liked it. It was a lot like lightroom and more in-depth than piknik had been. I'm sure I over edited, but that's okay. photographer never showed up on my personality tests haha.
Cherish, you look absolutely beautiful!
