24 week Ultrasound

We got to see Lily again today. At our last ultrasound she was a little bit uncooperative with the views of her heart. The sonographer and the doctor thought that everything was fine but they needed to look again. So today we went back for some repeat views of her heart. Good news for all of you have bought a bunch of pink (like us)- she's still a girl. :) They estimated her weight at 1 lb 11 ounces. That's right on target for her "age." Her heart looked fine. We got to see all 4 chambers and even the tiny little valves. It was fun to get to see Lily again. This will be the last ultrasound unless there is a problem. Here are two of the images from today's ultrasound.





Otherwise everything in NC is going well. I am feeling good. I find that I get tired more easily than before I was pregnant but have no complaints. The second trimester is definitely easier than the 1st. So I am going to enjoy it while it lasts- before I get big and uncomfortable. I am headed to New York City this weekend with Theresa. It's a girls weekend away. We are staying with Theresa's cousins and going to see some broadway shows. I am pretty excited about it. I leave tomorrow and return Monday. Then next week my Mom is coming to visit. It's going to be a busy week or two, but it's going to be fun. I won't be home this weekend to post the bi-weekly belly picture. But trust me the belly keeps growing! Last week I knocked over a pitcher of water and ice in a patient's room with my belly. I guess I lack belly awareness. It's not usually this big! I will try to post a NYC belly picture when I return Monday.
I also want to post pictures of the nursery. It's coming along nicely but first we need to clean it up a bit. My friend gave us some baby stuff- stroller, car seat, swing etc. And it's everywhere in there. :)

  1. So you are "lacking belly awareness" in addition to our normal gracefulness?? This could get messy! LOL!

  4. Lily looks beautiful! I'm glad you had a good time in NYC with Theresa! Your belly pictures are great! The lack of gracefulness you get naturally, I'm sorry to say. You girls take after your mother in that way. I can't wait to see and rub that belly. LOVE MOM
