Today was my 23 Week check-up. Since my doctor was delivering a baby at my 20 Week visit, he did a thourough scan of the anatomy this time. Here's what he told us:
- Our baby has a 3 vessell umbilical cord (which means the umbilical cord developed properly)
- The spine is fully formed and has good curvature
- From viewing the nose and lips, our baby does not have a cleft pallette
- All of the organs (stomach, bladder, kidney, liver, etc.) look good
- The heartbeat is in a good range (about 132)...we still love to hear it!
- The bone measurements indicate that the baby is growing at a rate that puts her within 2 days of our due date
He wasn't able to get as good of a view of the genitalia as the PA did (just based on how the baby was positioned), so he gave us a 95% probablility of girl as opposed to the 99% that we got last time. We'll continue to check on the gender, but as you can see by the previous post, we're proceeding forward assuming that Baby Grau is a girl!
He didn't print off any new ultrasound pics this time (she still looks pretty much the same :)). We'll post another update when I go back in 4 weeks.
