Yesterday, Mark and I had our 27 week ultrasound. We feel very blessed that we get to go in so often for these ultrasounds but every time we get just as excited to how she is doing, this week was no exception. We also had a special visitor come with us this week, Mark's Mom Susan. It was so fun to share this with her.
Becca is doing very well... she is weighing 2 pounds 4 ounces. Soon she will start growing a half pound a week. OH MY! She is 16 inches long and is in the 53rd percentile. So she is right on track!! The doctor said if she keeps growing the way she is we will have about a 6.5 - 7 pound baby (but more than likely she will grow more).
Becca was pretty sleepy during the ultrasound and was not moving too much, I forgot to have some orange juice before we left the house. We kept trying to wake her up, we tried shaking my belly, poking her, and even playing music. She just did not want to play. I am keeping my fingers crossed the same happens after she is born. ;)
She is head down and the doctor thinks that she will stay that way. So that was good news.
Other than that the doctor said that I could not be doing anything better as far as the pregnancy. Everything is just looking great! Given that I am considered high risk that is wonderful to hear.
I have been hard at work on Becca's nursery and hope to have it finished up in the next couple of weeks. We have some family coming in town for Thanksgiving and I would love to have it ready for them to see while they are here.
We did have one other big surprise while we were at the doctor. The sweetest Tech did the 3D ultrasound for us. It was so great that Mark's mom was able to be there to see this as well. She kept commenting how she never got pictures like this of Mark ;)
The 3D pictures are very baby dependent and if anything is in the way (ie. cord, arm, hand) you can't see too much but we were happy to try!
The first picture of Becca is very cute of her face. Her left cheek is missing because her elbow was blocking the way.
She was being very shy and kept putting her hand in front of her face.
Here she was rubbing her eyes. SOO cute!
This last one might be hard to see but below is her foot pushing against Mom. You can see it in the bottom left corner of the screen with her toes pointing up.
We go back in four weeks and I just can't wait to get back to see Dr. R!!!
Meg and me.
The amazing hostesses even had cute napkins with Becca's name!
With Allyson and Hillary.
Mark even stopped by the shower to bring a gift for Becca.
The bedding was dropped off this past weekend as well. It looks so beautiful!
