We had our ultrasound this afternoon and got triple confirmation that she is in fact a little girl! Two different ultrasound tech students performed an ultrasound for 30 minutes each and her little girl parts were very very obvious. Now I can take the tags off of all the little girl clothes and wash them. I'm excited, now I can smell like Dreft again tomorrow! I have also already started smocking her some little dresses for the winter.
She was pretty still during the ultrasounds, which was good (but rare) since the techs were taking an exam as they scanned me so I'm glad she behaved for them and they didn't have to chase her around. Since they were only students, the measurements they took were all over the place but we could see most of her little body parts at some point. Her face however was faced towards my back so the best we could get was a sort of profile picture. But her little heart looked great and so did the rest of her! We did find out one really good piece of information, she is not breech! I was afraid she would stay breech like she was at my 22 week ultrasound, but she flipped! That puts my mind at ease a little bit since her being breech would have probably resulted in a C-Section if she didn't flip. I had a feeling she had flipped though since there is a little body part constantly under my right rib, and I thought it might be a little foot. When the supervising ultrasound tech teacher scanned me she said that she had hair. I didn't think you could tell that from an ultrasound but we'll see in 11 weeks. I'm going to bring a little bow to the hospital with me when I deliver just in case she does!
I had my 28 week appointment last week. In the past few visits I was measuring about a week smaller than i should be but she must have had a growth spurt becuase I measured at 28 weeks this appointment, right on track. Her growth spurt isn't surprising becuase my belly has sure had a growth spurt lately. As of 28 weeks 2 days I had gained 14 lbs which I am happy with. I should be right on track to gain the recommended 25-35 lbs at delivery. As long as she is healthy, it doesn't matter to me anyway!
