Ultrasound

I went with Barbara to her ultrasound appointment this afternoon- it was so cool! I have a couple of printouts- one of his face (I have a hard time seeing that) and the other is a shot of his foot- it was so cute, he was wiggling his toes! I will have to get Matt to scan them into the computer so I can post it. She also had a non-stress test- they hook Barbara up to the fetal monitors like they use in labor and they watch his heart rate while she just lays there and what his heart does when he becomes active- everything was normal today; they do want her to have a non stress test twice a week though. The only thing that has been mentioned is that he is "small" So is Barbara though- there are no real concerns. He is currently 4 pounds 5 ounces according to the ultrasound- that can be off as much as ten ounces though. His femur is 6 and a half centimeters long- someone do the math for me to figure out about how long that makes him please. I could see all the organs- his heart (cool), liver, kidneys, stomach; his spine was quite obvious too. He is already head down- just waiting! Thanks Barbara for the great afternoon!
