We had another ultrasound this week. The doctor wanted a second look to get a better view of the baby’s heart and kidneys. The doctor says everything looks great. Baby Green had a heart rate of 162 and is now an estimated 1 lb., 11 oz. The baby is now in the 88th percentile for size, up from the 47th percentile 3 weeks ago.
We asked if the rapid growth was anything to worry about. The doctor didn't think there were any problems and reassured us that Crystal wouldn't be giving birth to a 12 pound baby. The doctor did say fast growth was sometimes an indicator of diabetes, though Crystal’s tests have consistently ruled out diabetes as an issue. We'll continue to monitor the baby's growth rate but the doctor noted ultrasound measurements are less accurate the further into the pregnancy we get.
Here is the latest ultrasound picture. It’s a decent view of the baby’s face and little hand. Again, I uploaded two images for the same picture to help you figure out what you’re looking at.
We’re still excited and a few short weeks away from the last trimester. Yikes it’s going fast!

Thanks for the outlines! Those help so much! Altho it does add a flare of cartoonism...which makes me laugh everytime. WOW! It's going by so fast!
PS. I voted!!! :o)
hugs to you all!!!
How exciting ! It is great to have another chance for an ultrasound and see how the baby is growing. Just amazing isn't it ? Time is going by too fast - but probably not fast enough for Mom and Daddy !!! This grandma is readying her rocker chair too ! Love, Grandma Julie
