we had our ultrasound this morning, at 32 weeks and 5 days, to check on baby's growth and possibility of IUGR....baby looks GREAT!!!

Whooooo hoooo!!

It seemed at first that Joe wasn't going to make it to the appointment in time, but he did make it and was only a few minutes late, so he didn't miss much of anything. tech said baby is actaully measuring 1 day AHEAD of duedate!! and that everything looked fine. I asked specifically about the heart and organs and he said, it all looked good. (So I guess maybe baby was just in a starnge position, maybe laying on his side, when doc did the fundal height measurements...plus the lower baby gets the smaller those measurements will be anyway as my body begins to prepare for delivery...)

Towards the end of the ultrasound we did another check on gender, and WOWZAS! there is NOOOooooo mistaking this kid! Diff a boy!! The last shot we got to see was full on of the face. You could easily see the eyes, nose, mouth, even the detailed curving of the lips! I couldn't make it out too well because of the angle the screen was at, but Joe said it was amazing, and at one point baby opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue lol!! That was diffintely what excited Joe the most, seeing the face...his exact words were "it was absolutely adorable!" I feel sooooo much better! I forgot to ask about the weight guestimate, but I will at my next doctor's appointment when I'll get the "official" report anyway. Otherwise...rejoice with us!! Great great great report!!!

p.s. baby was in the LOT position pictured below...head down, but flipped over on the other side from last doc appt.
