We had an ultrasound on Monday and (once again) it was sooooo cool. The bad news was that their DVD recorder was not in yet and the VHS recorder was eating tapes so we didn't get a recording. :( But, the good news is that Niblet once again refused to stretch out and co-operate so the tech wasn't able to get a good look at the heart structures so we will have yet another ultrasound in 4 weeks and hopefully we can get a recording then!!Everything looked wonderful on the scan. The spine was all closed in, as was the lip and palate. The baby weighs 15 oz, has 10 fingers and 10 toes. The cord has the 3 vessels and we got to see both kidneys. The heart rate was 146 beats/min and it was fun to actually see the little ticker beating away.
Niblet is flexible and apparently is comfortable with it's feet up at it's head (you can see the one foot touching the forehead above!) We also got to watch Niblet play with it's feet- it looked like it tickled it self as it jerked it's feet away when it's hands touched them.
It is strange to call Niblet an 'it'... but it gets annoying writing he/she all the time. We always refer to Niblet and a 'he'... only time will tell if we are right!! We just pray that Niblet will be healthy and that is all that really matters!
I still don't feel a whole lot of movement (but the odd flutter and maybe a kick?) so it is so weird to see all Niblet's actions on the monitor and yet not really feel anything!
