Ultrasound 25 wks


Went to the doctor today for an ultrasound! I'm getting them regularly because of my high blood pressure in the past. It is under control now, but with high blood pressure you're at risk for other stuff too, so they just like to keep a close watch on baby Dalton's progress. They are making sure he's growing well and my fluid level is good and stuff like that. I don't mind going in because that just means I get to see my baby boy more often! Today he was opening and closing his mouth! haha. The ultrasound tech was like "He's either talking or drinking the fluid" And I'm like either one is believable... if he gets his mouth from us, it's usually doing one or the other (talking or eating)!! They said he is head-down and he had a hand AND a foot above his head~~ that explains all the crazy movement I've been feeling! He also poked himself in the eye while we were watching! That was funny! :)

I asked Dad to go with me since Todd can't get off work for every appointment-- he was thrilled! He had never seen an ultrasound before, so it was really cool that he got to see Dalton moving around and hear his heartbeat too! Grandpa was proud!
Here's the one with his MOUTH open!
Cute profile with five fingers beside his forehead!
Those circles in front of his lips are bubbles! He was blowing them!

No luck!!


We went to our doctor's appointment to get the level II ultrasound. The ultrasound tech said "Oh it doesn't look like we'll be finding out today, look how it's positioned!" The baby was breech with its bottom down in my pelvis, and its face was facing my back. Sooooo, there was no view of the little bottom. The arms and legs were moving around like crazy but the baby wouldn't change positions. We got a clear view of each arm and leg, the heart, kidneys, spine, and stomach-- all were fine. We couldn't see the face!! This baby was hiding! So no profile pics for us to keep. They could barely get any pictures for us at all. : ( It was so great to see the baby, but we were so looking forward to finding out the sex! Then the doctor, Dr. Ho, came in and tried too. She shook my belly and I rolled from side to side, all to no avail. This little one is just like its daddy, stubborn! So she told us to come back in 3wks. My appt is August 1st.
