Not to steal any thunder from Gracie, and all of you following her progress, but we just wanted to post some pictures of our little guy from todays appt!
Nice profile huh! Just wait til you see the 4D pictures they are pretty amazing and I must say he looks adorable already!
\I had a 3 1/2 hour appt with the perinatologist today ( or rather him and the fellow and the nurse and the MA and the ultrasound tech and the ultrasound physician...) at OHSU and I was very impressed with them and glad I'm going to be able to have my care there for the final 11 weeks. Got my glucose test/ rhogam shot out of the way and lots of others things including these impressive ultrasounds they used a brand new technology they are trying to convince OHSU to purchase. The ultrasound physician came in and asked if she could try it out on me and I got some great shots from it. Baby looks pretty good overall. They thought initially at about 20 wks he had only one kidney. Then at 22 we went in to the perinatologist and they found it down by the bladder and looking very small. They said it was unlikely it would be fully functioning but today it looked not much smaller than the other (3.0 cm instead of 3.5 cm) and no obstruction so they think it will be just fine other than location being different. His head was measuring big so they're going to monitor his growth (about 3 weeks ahead of some of the rest of his body) and overall he measures about 2 weeks ahead so I guess we'll see. Maybe he'll come early...or maybe just nice and big!! Just hoping he's nice to his momma on the way out so I can take care of him and Gracie!
Ultrasound has come a long ways since I had babies. Exciting to welcome a new little one . . . . and overwhelming, too, with Gracie's situation. You'll do it, though, I know you can!
ReplyDeleteSo fun. He looks darling already!
