Ultrasound

We had our position ultrasound this morning, after having to reschedule it due to snowpocalypse 2012. Everything looked great! Baby Madren was head down (YAY!), and in fact was in a great position in general. His heartbeat was good, about 180 beats per minute (fast, but not too fast). His lungs looked good and the ultrasound tech said he was practicing breathing, which is good. You could see his little belly move as if he were breathing. We saw his feet, and he wiggled his little toes at us, which was adorable. We couldn't really see his face though. His head is pretty far down there. My placenta looked good and is sort of hanging out on my left side and the amniotic fluid level was good. So he pretty much passed with flying colors.

I did ask if she could tell how big he is, but she said Dr. Labban didn't order measurements so she couldn't tell. But she said that since he didn't ask for them, the baby must be fairly normal sized.

Also, she only gave us one picture and it was pretty much just a penis shot. He really likes to show that thing off in ultrasounds, but hopefully it will be a few years before pictures of it are on the internet... (And by a few years I mean I hope we raise a kid that knows better than that...)
