Today's ultrasound went very well. Our baby is healthy and beautiful. The technician was able to confirm that the spine, both lungs, bladder, head, mouth, nose, kidneys and limbs are all healthy. The amazing, amazing thing that she could verify was that the blood flow through the umbilical cord and from the placenta is good.
The heart looked great and they were able to see each chamber, but we will have to go back in 9 weeks to verify that the blood flow through the heart is indeed fine. Everything looks healthy, but since they couldn't get a definite picture of the flow, we'll be going back. Don't worry. The only reason they couldn't get a good image was because our little one had her/his spine facing the ultrasound.
Daddy and Mommy were super amazed and proud that our baby is measuring at 11oz. Almost a pound! Wowie!
I'll be posting the ultrasound images this evening, along with the gender verdict. We are just thrilled that our baby is healthy and active.
I am so happy for you and your family. I can't wait to find out the verdict! Eeek!
