On May 18, 2011 we had another opportunity to see our sweet little blessing from the Lord. Baby is getting bigger, so the ultrasound pictures weren't quite as clear. With Junebug Too taking up much more than the tv screen allows us to see, I think that's why Nathan got a bit confused. When baby first appeared on the screen he yelled, "Baby!" but then throughout the ultrasound he went on to call his little brother or sister "Titty" which is his word for kitty and "Aff Oof" which is his word for dog. Honest mistake, right!?!
Ok, so below we have a shot of Junebug Too's face looking straight on at us. Baby's left hand is in front of his or her mouth but you can make out the nose and eyes pretty clearly. I think Junebug Too looks just like a little baby doll...
Here's another shot of Junebug Too's face without the hand in front of the mouth. You can make out the mouth, nose and right eye pretty clearly...
Lastly, we have a profile shot of Junebug Too's face. I think this is really hard to make out but you can kind of see the forehead, nose and mouth if you strain really hard...
To share the stats, the ultrasound tech estimated Junebug Too to weigh in at 4 lbs. 12 oz. which puts baby in the 10th percentile for growth...teetering on the brink of "the red zone" but good enough for our doc, especially given that my amniotic fluid levels are still looking good and since baby's heart rate and breathing looked very strong and baby's movements looked normal and healthy. We're continuing to pray that Junebug Too's Creator will keep growing this little miracle at just the right pace so baby is born at a healthy weight (and believe me, Mommy is just fine having a small baby as long as all is healthy)!
