25w belly pics

25 weeks today! Not much change from last week's pictures - but I feel huge already and I know I've got a long way to go!Not that anyone really wants to see - but this is what a Lovenox belly looks like... (you can still see the remnants of my band-aid disaster too)

24w Ultrasound

We had another ultrasound to monitor growth today.

So far everything is still looking good. The baby was being difficult so she couldn't get all the views / angles she was trying to get - but he weighs 1.5lbs already (right on track for gestational age...) and my fluid levels are right where they should be!!!!

On top of the baby being difficult the ultrasound tech had problems getting a good head measurement because his head was right under one of my gigantic lovenox bruises. She showed us how the picture changed when she hovered over the bruise...she thought at first I had some kind of fibroid problem, but no... I just have a spotty lumpy belly.

She finally got him to roll to a different spot and got the measurment she needed. His head is BIG!! (Good news / bad news if you ask me...)

He kept his hands or feet in front of his face almost the whole time! (To me it looks like he has big feet too...) But we did get to watch him swallow and stick his hand in his mouth a few times. It was kind of cool because I could feel him move and see him move at the same time. Totally freaked me out a little bit.
