Day 2

Happy Friday Everyone!

Okay, so we had an ultrasound and this is what we've learned.

• bb is head down, but staying put right now. No contractions here!

• Ultrasound estimates 1 pound and 14 ounces right now, so we are almost 2 pounds

• his heartbeat has stayed the exact same the whole time, so they don't feel like they need to monitor 24/7 they will check for 30 minutes twice a day as long as nothing changes! Yay for him being good!
  
  
• In fact things look so good, they are moving me out of the Labor and Delivery and into a regular room! This is great news, meaning everything is going so well my risk of delivering is minimal. They have unhooked me from everything except antibiotics, iv, and compression things on my legs to prevent blood clots since I have to stay in bed.
  
  
• his heart has all 4 chambers, nice round belly, his spine is closed, his brain has the right fluids in the right places, the umbilical cord has all 3 vessels and there is blood flow to the kidneys, liver, and bladder.
  
  
• we didn't get any verification 'he' is still a he, but our January ultrasound was pretty clear so...
   speaking of January..he didn't hesitate to show us he is a boy, but kept his face hidden. This time he was curled in a pretty tight ball, but we got a great profile picture this time :)
  
  
• the not so good news is... a 'normal' amount of amniotic fluid is 20 (I'm not sure if it is oz or cc or...?) We were hoping for at least 5, unfortunately I am at 2.07  There is nothing we can really do about that actually except lay down and keep all 2.07 inside me with the hope we can even get a little more in there.
