First up, I am SO behind in reading blogs. I didn’t read at all while I was away, and then I took a couple of days at home just to hang out with Q. So I am behind on everyone’s news, and will try to catch up soon! This was not how I would have [...]

The big ultrasound
Posted in Pregnancy, Ultrasounds on December 15, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Today was our anatomical ultrasound. My midwife had warned me that the place they liked to use was “really fantastic, but they have absolutely no bedside manner”. Apparently previous clients have complained about it, but when she rang them up, they said that they “weren’t paid enough to give bad news”. Fair enough, says I. [...]
Not quite graduation day…

Our ultrasound yesterday was perfect. It was at 8w4d, but bub is an overachiever, measuring 8w5d. Heart rate was 172 bpm. CRL was 20.2 mm. Bub is definitely out of “peanut” phase and into “gummie bear” phase, complete with stubby arms and legs. Much more recognizable- I could tell which end was the head even [...]
A different sort of marathon

We had another appointment at the clinic on the weekend. All was well- bub is now less blob-like and more peanut-shaped, measured 12.3 mm crown and rump and had a heart rate of 146 bpm. All of which added up to an estimated gestational age of 7w3d, which is exactly on target. My f/s said [...]
