Ultrasound

I had the anatomy ultrasound this afternoon for the new baby. Everything looked great! His heart rate was a strong 164 bpm. He measured well everywhere. He's a tad larger than he should be for our due date of July 5th. His measurements put him at a due date of June 29th, but my official due date hasn't changed. He has all his limbs and essential organs. He was jerking around as he should. I haven't felt him much yet and the ultrasound tech said it would take longer to feel him because the placenta is on the front side.

Here are the ultrasound pictures the tech gave us today. They aren't great, but at least they are something. I was disappointed that she didn't flip on the 3D ultrasound like she did at every ultrasound she did of Carter. Seems like they are getting a little more stingy with that at my doctor's office. Oh well.





That last one is of the baby's leg and foot. Random.

I go back next week for a regular appointment with my doctor.

Both Brian and Carter came to my appointment today. As usual, we had to wait an hour before we got to go back. When setting up my next appointment I asked for a time that would hopefully require the shortest wait because we've been in the waiting room over an hour with all my appointments so far with this pregnancy and Carter can only be good for so long.

After my appointment we met Sarah and Mary Grace for dinner at Pimento's. Mary Grace did awesome but Carter started melting down near the end of dinner. He only had one nap today and was exhausted after an hour of running around the mostly empty waiting room at my doctor's office (it was completely empty the last 30 minutes).
