The baby is gonna be HUGE! From about ¼ inch to about 2 inches in a little over 4 weeks. At this rate, we’re gonna have a basketball player! (Fat chance given Dad's genes)
Here is another picture from the second sonogram done this morning. They were basically testing for heart rate and some genetic markers (Down’s Syndrome, etc.). Everything looks great. 168 beats per minute.
And best yet – we saw the baby move…. a lot! Although you can’t tell from the pictures, it would kind of look almost like a hiccup where the baby’s whole body would jump up about half an inch from where it’s resting in the pictures. That was the most exciting thing for both of us. We didn’t really expect to see movement this early.
Also, before the doctor began the sonogram, she asked whether we wanted to know the gender if she could tell. I’m okay either way, and Britnee has been putting up a good show that maybe she could wait until the birth. But I swear it took about a millisecond for Britnee to say “yes!” when the doctor asked. Unfortunately, the doctor couldn’t get a good angle to tell for sure and she said she didn’t want to say anything if she wasn’t sure. So still no idea on that front – although I expect we’ll be finding out in 2 months at the next sonogram.
She’s officially at 11 weeks plus 1 day as of today. But the doctor said that the baby seems to be about 5 days ahead of schedule right now. Doesn’t change the official due date of March 24th though.
