28 Weeks 3 Days

This morning we had our ultrasound!  Sarah's position was quite stubborn for getting good pictures to post for you but we tried our best.  Yesterday, as I mentioned in the last post, was her most active day ever so today she has been sleeping...a lot!  She was head down, facing my back and not wanting to move.  One of her arms was wrapped up around her head and as the technician pressed the ultrasound probe on my belling Sarah would  give a little nudge with her head to say "Cut it out, I'm trying to sleep in here!"  It was pretty funny to see her do that.

Her heart rate looked good and normal.  We got some measurements of her thigh, abdomen and head to get a good determination of how well she is growing.  Today I am 28 weeks and 3 days along in my pregnancy but Sarah's measurements put her 30 weeks!  All the books say that at this stage she should weigh around 2 lbs 4 ounces, but based off of her measurements she is 2 lbs 15 ounces...an ounce shy of 3 pounds!  The technician said that my OB doctor is the only one that can "change" my due date but from these calculations the computer gave me a new due date of May 10th!  Now this is only based off of Sarah's gestational development and considering we are a fertility patient the window of conception is VERY small leaving  the official due date  of May 18th to be pretty precise by 12 hours.

I have a follow up appointment with my OB doctor this Friday and should be getting the results of how Sarah's left kidney is developing.  Please continue to pray that it is within the normal range and that there will be no problems down the road.

Ok, so here is the fun part!  I have posted the picture sideways so you can identify what your looking at better.

 

Looking straight at the picture her arm extends from her elbow to her fingers along the side of her head.  The arm is on the left side of the picture and her head is on the right side of the picture.  If you think you can make out an eye, nose, cheek and chin...you got it!  The round blob at the bottom of the picture is part of her abdomen.  Click on the picture to get a bigger view.
