Another Ultrasound!

Monday was my appointment at the Perinatal & Women's Center for a level II ultrasound. It was really neat. They are imaging specialists so the ultrasound machines are really high tech. I don't know how its possible, but they take 4d pictures!! I was there to get more in depth measurements of baby Michael, to make sure everything was normal since he was measuring in the 96% last appointment. I'm happy to report back that he is completely normal and only in the 81% according to their measurements! (Still a bigger baby but healthy) My due date probably won't change and they will just keep watching his growth I guess. I have a follow up appointment on Tuesday so I will see what they say then. I must admit, it all seemed kind of pointless to me. But hey, who doesn't like to get a extra ultrasound of their baby? It amazes me every time to watch those little legs, arms, hands and mouth to move. Now keep in mind when you look at the pictures that this big guy likes to keep his arm and hand right in his face and mouth. Also, he stays really close to my placenta and uterus lining. So the pictures aren't as good as I would have liked them to be, but who am I to complain?
This was the best straight on shot the tech could get, notice that the arm is still up by the chin! I even laid on my side so the tech could try to get a better picture!
There is that arm up by his other eye!
The tech said he wasn't to "forthcoming" about showing his parts, his legs were always crossing.
Hand spread open on the forehead with the other one balled up by chin.
Sucking on his fist! His favorite thing to do!
