The ultrasound was really neat. I got to see the heart working and all its chambers. Heartbeat was 157 bpm. Anna opened and closed her mouth and even showed us her tongue. She is butt down (which isn't good) but she still has time to turn. Micah was the same way and he turned. Hopefully she follows suit. The tech kept saying over and over how she was rolled into a tiny ball. She had her foot on her head. What a funny site. Also for the first time we saw hair on her head. I have never seen that on an ultrasound before. But today you could actually see hair everywhere. She looked like a baby chick.
Well that answers one of our questions, she won't be a blonde. (I didn't have the heart to tell the boys this because they keep saying what kind of hair she will have. Of course Caleb says blonde like him and Micah says brown like him. Hmmm...brown or red hair?????
Everything is looking good. Hematoma is completely gone and placenta is in the right place and the cord isn't around her neck anymore. Whew! She still is measuring small, a week behind. But tech said she is still growing and has changed from last ultrasound. I am not worried because my other kids measured small at this point. I remember with Micah, Dr was really concerned. But with the other kiddos I caught up in the end. So I am just praying and hoping that's the case for Anna.
The other thing is she hasn't turned yet, the little stinker. She is butt down and tech said she is very pushed down. So I get another ultrasound in 6 wks to see if she has turned. Micah was the same at this point so again, hoping she turns. Got the mini talk about what will happen if she doesn't turn. I don't want a c-section but will if necessary. I googled natural ways to get the baby to turn. So I guess I will try some of the normal sounding ones. I am not too concerned yet.
On the good note, I am off all my restrictions. Whoot-whoot! ;) Dr just said watch myself and if I can't do something or don't want to then to follow my gut. Got results back on diabetes test and it was normal. (knew it would be :) I go back in 2 wks. 120 3/4
