Update on 17 week Ultrasound for No. 2

Okay - we are in fact alive. Mostly. I am sorry it has been so long since I have updated the blog. Since we got back from LA we have been so sick and not sleeping etc. that I have not had the time or the energy to post!

Last Friday we had an ultrasound of No. 2. My new OB is following No. 2 very closely - ultrasounds every 2 weeks. I was very nervous about the ultrasound because this would be the first time that we would be able to see if No. 2 is growing properly. I am still pretty skinny and I am just barely showing so it is hard to see from the outside that a still very small baby (~150 grams) is growing well!

No. 2 was moving all around during the ultrasound - always a good sign - and he is reading LARGE for dates. About a week large! Oh man! I felt so relieved when Dr. P said that! So at least for now things are going well. I know very well that things can change though.

My next ultrasound is my Systems Ultrasound on May. 19 - which is generally considered the first time we can really see whether No. 2 is growing well. We should also be able to see all of "his" organs and check that they all look good. Grow, baby, grow!
