Hello,
Just an interim mid-week update. We had an ultrasound today and it went great!
Highlights:
-
Boy weighs 1 pound 10 ounces.
-
Everything is there that should be there.
-
Heart is perfect.
-
He is slightly undersized, but there is no concern.
Our doctor (Dr. Bartelsmeyer) was working in the ultrasound clinic today, so it was great that someone with Missy’s complete history could review the results. We waited a while, but he finally came in with a big smile on his face and let us know all the above.
Doctor B. was genuinely satisfied with our progress. He was so satisfied that our next ultrasound is 3 weeks away, which means there are ZERO concerns right now.
We still have the normal weekly appointments with Doctor B., but these are purely checkups to ensure nothing pops up.
Here are the photos:
Profile Photo: He was hiding a lot this morning, so shots of his face were hard to come by.
Leg Photo: He had his legs crossed and bent to over his head. Yep, I cannot even think how this happens without proper yoga training:
Boy Photo: Last week, I suggested to Missy we choose a girl’s name in case the ultrasound was wrong. This morning took away any surprise factor:
Thank you all for your positive thoughts and prayers. I’ll send out an update after our doctor appointment on Thursday.
Love you all.

Ultrasounds and High Risk Pregnancy
Anyone who has gone through pregnancy knows the routine of the ultrasounds, but with high risk pregnancy it is slightly different. The focus isn’t so much on immediate joy, but hoping there is nothing wrong. From the ultrasound technician, to the nurses to the doctor, you look for signs that something is amiss. As you enter the third trimester the ultrasounds become weekly events, which add to the excitement and trepidation.
