We Have One Big Baby!

Toward the end of my pregnancy, the specialist wanted to see me again to check fetal movement and see just how well the baby was doing. Therefore I headed to Dr. Platt on Wednesday. I had no idea that I was going to be having an ultrasound and get to see my little angel! So needless to say, I was very excited when they said I was having one.

They did a biophysical profile. A biophysical profile checks the baby's breathing, gross motor movements, fine motor movements, and my fluid level. During the ultrasound, I asked how big they thought she might be since I have been measuring around 2 weeks ahead. She did all the measurements (head, belly, femurs, etc). Are you ready for this???? This little girl is 4lbs 10 oz!!! That is 1 lb larger than Macy was at birth!!!! She is the size that Macy was when we brought Macy home from the hospital at 39 days old! Best of all, my fluid and her movements were perfect!

So, not only did we get a picture to verify that she is, in fact, a girl, but we also got 3 other pictures of her. I decided to spare her the embarrassment of showing her hoo hoo on the internet, and decided just to put the other 3 pics for your viewing pleasure. Is it just me, or does her face look chubby already????
