Ultrasound Results

The ultrasound went well today!

We had another BPP and had a look at the amniotic fluid level.

The amniotic fluid is still low, but looking better. It was up to 7.1 from 5.6 last week, so that was a relief.

The baby did great with her practice breathing, she was doing it pretty much the whole time! She is also active and doing well on her heartrate monitoring.

Here's a picture of her face (in profile):

We've tried a few times to get 3D pictures of the babies' faces, but you need a certain amount of empty space for it too work and they have always been too close together, and with the low fluid it's even worse. So no 3D pics for us.

But, we did see something interesting on the ultrasound today:

It looks like our girl is going to have lots of hair! I didn't even know you could see that on an ultrasound :)

So everything is looking pretty good. I was having contractions last night, nothing major, but they were frequent and lasted for 5 or 6 hours, so I'm back on the meds to stop contractions. Other than that we're doing fine.

I have been thinking of you guys often. You're going to have to buy some barrettes and head bands. Her hair is precious.
