We went for our 20 week ultrasound yesterday and are sweet little baby decided to hide from us. We were able to see an arm & fist, both legs and both feet. The baby was fast asleep upside down :o) We did get to see him/her yawn and move an arm a few times, but that was it. The baby weighs 13 ounces and is about 7 inches long....still so tiny!
I haven't been able to blog for the last two weeks because I was on vacation in Rome, Italy. Vacation was great, exhausting and fun all rolled up in one big ball. My only down fall was a down fall...I was walking down some steps in Positano and fell down a few steps, I heard 3 pops or snaps in my ankle...I go to see an Orthopedic Doctor on Monday to have it looked at. I managed to fall on my side so this sweet bundle was safe & sound.
We go back on April 29 for another ultrasound to get a better look at the baby's heart and maybe a look at the face. Dr. Mueller says everything looks great...the baby's heart rate was about 156 bpm. I haven't gained any weight as of yet...most women will have gained between 10-13 lbs by now, but I have managed to loose and gain, so I am balancing my weight where I started for the most part.
I thought I had been feeling the baby move for the past two weeks here and there, my belly would get really hard just below my belly button, it would last for about 30 seconds and then go away..I figured it was the baby pressing against me. Dr. Mueller said it was contractions, very normal and nothing to worry about. I have felt a few flutters as well....she said I should start feeling movement in the next two weeks.
The baby will almost double in length in the next week which seems so crazy to me!
