31 weeks 3 days - Level II Ultrasound
A picture of Hannah resting her head on her fist.
A perfect little (Long) foot! (No, those are not extra toes, they are actually fingers, she had her foot pulled up to her hands.)
We went for our Level II ultrasound today. It was AMAZING!!!!!!!!! All things pregnancy have always amazed and confounded me but today took the cake! As I said in the title of this post I am currently 31 weeks 3 day along. We knew it would be neat to see Hannah, it always is, but today was the best ever! The ultrasound tech was very thorough and checked everything necessary but we got to see some other impressive things at the same time. She looked at everything from each of Hannah's hands and feet (counting fingers and toes) to her mouth, eye sockets and even the hair on her head...and there's a lot of it! While we were watching her, you could see Hannah practicing swallowing and sucking. She was opening and closing her eyes and even had one little hand resting under her chin. And boy those feet! It looks like she is going to take after her Uncle Gabe and Uncle Saul because they appeared to be very long! (Sorry little girl, Mommy has big feet, too!) We saw her profile, finally, and can't really guess yet who she'll look like. We were even able to see that her heart, kidneys and bladder were all functioning normally. At the end of the ultrasound we were informed that Hannah is growing beautifully, in fact, she is measuring a full week ahead, at 32 weeks 3 days gestation, and is currently estimated to weigh 4 pounds and 1 ounce.
We have one appointment a week from now on, so I'll be updating more regularly the closer we get.
