Had the big 3 hour long glucose testing done yesterday before having my 30 week 3D ultrasound done. It was a long day!! Glucose testing was no fun. We finally just decided to take my little timer with us and go walk around Petsmart and Lowes, and then sit in the car and listen to music. Sitting in an uncomfortable medical waiting room is a bummer. I think I should get the results from that tomorrow when I have my appointment with Dr. Vinson.
The ultrasound was super cool!! That 3D stuff is so amazing! All of the measurements looked good. Plenty of amniotic fluid, and she weighs 3 lbs and 1 oz. That’s right smack in the middle of the growth curve, so things look great. The technician told me that’s a good sign, because they think if I had gestational diabetes, she would be above average in size.
She was moving all over the place and has a VERY expressive face!! She was putting her fingers in her mouth and smiling at us! The standard part of the ultrasound even showed that she has quite a bit of hair on the back of her head! A little duck tail! :)
We’re thinking she has my nose and mouth and caleb’s eyes and brow area. Here’s a pretty funny side-by-side comparison pic of me as a kid and Stella flashing a little grin:
And here are a few more!! Very exciting to get our first glimpse of our little boogerhead!!
Here she is with open eyes!
Chewing on her fingers....
Another smile for the camera!
She is already in an “upside down” position and has been for a while. The lump I keep seeing and feeling kind of high up on the top right side of my tummy is actually her bottom, and her feet are kicking at my left side. So the pressure I’m feeling down low is her head.
I’m REALLY getting excited now! Very eager to meet my little Stella Bean!! :)
