Baby Wally Update

I had an ultrasound today. Totally unplanned and very unexpected but Dr Fabulous finally decided that we should check on things. I am pretty sure he did it mostly to get me to relax and less for what might be considered medical necessity but I'll take it.

Unfortunately, Baby Wally didn't cooperate for any pictures. He's still playing shy with his hands in front of his face but at least I got a little update.

1. His is definitely still a boy. :-)
2. He currently weighs  4.5 pounds, which is perfect.
3. His head is measuring a few days ahead but totally within normal range.
4. His heartbeat was 150 beats per minute, which is also perfect.
5. He kept kicking at the ultrasound wand (which I hear means great brain development already!)
6. His kidneys and stomach looked good.
7. His bladder was full (and so was mine!).
8. His heart looked great.
9. His leg bones measured right on for his age.

He moved the whole time. Just wouldn't stop squirming around. He also had the hiccups for a few minutes and I could see his little belly moving each time hiccuped. It was so cute. He is definitely persistent though because no matter how much moving around he did, he kept both arms/hands in front of his face. I guess he is going to make us wait till he's born to know what he looks like.
