Troubles & Triumphs of a Growing Family: Ultrasound Update!

We had an ultrasound today just to see what was going on in there and see if there were any problems that would be causing the spotting. The good news is....there were NO problems that they can see anywhere!! The bad news is....we still don't know what is causing it...but maybe it is just what is normal for my body. As long as baby is healthy thats all that matters!

The ultrasound was super cool though! We got to see her doing all sorts of things in there and got a lot of awesome pictures! They checked to make sure all of her major organs were still intact. Her heart, stomach, bladder, kidneys, and umbilical cord all looked great. Unfortunately the little booger was hiding her face so we didn't get any real good looks at her face but what we did see looked adorable!

She has some hair...which is very exciting since I was bald until almost 3!! She has her momma's flip flop feet with the space between the big toe and other toes. We watched her open and close her eyes and mouth. We watched her drink her amniotic fluid. She seemed to be playing hide and seek...she would peek out from behind the placenta and then hide her face again. SO fun! It literally made my heart melt! She measured perfect...to the day! She weighs about 3 pounds so far and is in the 64%tile overall. They were happy with that...not too big and not too small.

We tried everything to get her to move so we could see her little face. I tried going to the bathroom, we poked and pushed on her...NOTHING...finally the lady pulled out a little buzzer thing that vibrates lightly and put it on my belly...she jumped and kicked but then went right back into her hiding spot. She had her hands up by her face the entire time and kept pulling at her little ears or hair..we weren't sure which.

Oh and she is definitely a she...we had them check again since the first one they had a hard time getting! Phew...already have an awful lot of pink and purple!

Here are some of my favorite pictures!
