Ultrasound

We had our 5th ultrasound today. We had to check on the size of the baby because of the measurements of my uterus. Elizabeth, yes it is confirmed that she is a girl, weighs 3lbs 11oz and her heart rate was 165bpm. She was a wild monkey while they were trying to get all her measurements. She is always a wild monkey in there but I love it. We did get to see her hip bones which was cool. There was a lot of shadowing becasue her bones are so dense now. When they were looking at her heart and abdomin her ribs were casting shadows it was so cool to see that. She had her foot in her hand at one point and that was cute. We were able to see her knee cap. She is so long that they had to break her spine up in 3 sections in order to look at it. They took a 4D picture of her face and that was the best thing I have ever seen. There are two dark spots on her forehead because that is where the transducer was. This was a great ultrasound unlike the one we had at 20 weeks. They are measuring me bigger than I am. They gave me a due date of 9-11-08. I will have to wait to see if my Dr moves my due date. Last week at the Dr I gained 5lbs so I am now up 10lbs. My blood pressure was high but when they took it before I left it was normal. I hope that it stays normal because I don't want her to come until she is ready in 8 weeks or less. I feel great besides being tired all the time and being HOT. Victoria is really good at letting me sleep for an hour on the couch if I need to. She is doing swimming lessons again and she is doing so well. She loves to ride on the boat, she can move her arms forward while kicking, she loves to jump off the wall, walk off the couch and she goes under the water a little and she is starting to blow bubbles in the water. Well, I think that is it for now. Victoria is doing great. She is putting 2 and 3 words together now. She still loves her sister and loves to kiss her and talk to her. Can't wait to see her in action as a big sister.
