So we had our ultra sound the day after my last post. It was SO cool! I had no clue you would be able to see both hemispheres of the brain and the cerebellum. We also could see all four chambers of the heart, two kindeys, two lungs a stomach and a liver! We asked the tech to not show us the sex, although the first position the baby moved into was the straight up the butt legs spread eagle! Pretty sure there was something there! We also have a mover on our hands! The tech couldn't keep him/her on the screen! At one point she said "I usually take these measurements in order, but yours is moving too much so I'm grabbing them as I can!". It would be on the screen and then gone 2 seconds later! It was measuring 17w3d exactly a week ahead of schedule, which probably isn't possible so I'm guessing it has my genes of big long bones! We also got to see it's hand open and close and all 5 fingers...it was SOOOO cool :) heart beat was 145! here are the pictures! Oh the tech also said he/she weighed about half a pound which is pretty big for the point we were at?!?!
Here is the info on baby at this point
Your Baby
Speaking of packing on the pounds, that what it's all about for baby this week. He's adding fat stores that will keep him warm and cozy after he's born. Your baby's weight will increase approximately six times over the next four weeks. Good to know you're not the only one tipping the scale. Also this week:
Your baby is hard at work honing his sucking and swallowing reflexes—all the better for eating that 2 AM (and 5 AM, and 8 AM ...) meal in a few months! The finger- and toenails are beginning to grow from their nail beds, which would explain why he'll need them trimmed almost as soon as he's born!
Your baby weighs nearly 5 ounces and is a little over 5 inches long—about the size of a baked potato (load on the butter and sour cream, please).
