3D sonogram - attempt #4 (final)

This time she had the placenta and umbilical cord blocking parts of her face. Apparently it wasn't meant to be. We now have to wait 6 weeks and 6 days to see what she really looks like.

3D sonogram - attempt #3

So, today the placenta was not in the way but her arms sure were! She kept sucking on the back and side of one of her hands. The few times she moved her arms out of the way, she wouldn't stop squirming long enough to get a scan for the picture.

I go back again next week... wish us luck!

3D sonogram - attempt #2

It didn't go much better this time. The placenta blocked the right side of her face and her arms covered the left side.

I go back for try #3 next week.

3D sonogram - attempt #1

Yesterday we went in for our first attempt at a 3D sonogram. Like Sofia, this one played shy hiding her face behind the placenta. From what we can tell, she looks a lot like Sofia did at this stage but with more pouty lips.

I go back next week for another attempt.

20 weeks 1 day

We had my 20 week sonogram on Tuesday. Daddy and Sofia were able to join me. The baby measures like she should and everything seems to be growing normally.

Test Results

On Monday, Dave and I went in for a CVS test. It's recommended because of my age (over 35). The preliminary results came back this afternoon and so far there are no indicators of Downs, Trisomy 13, Trisomy 18 or anything else they tested for. The final report should be here in about a week.

Oh yeah, and they told us the gender. It looks like poor Dave will have to continue living in a house full of estrogen. It's a GIRL!

This is a shot of my belly from last Friday. With Sofia I wasn't this big until around 17 weeks or so. The day this was taken I was 11w4d.
