We had a doctor appointment with our regular OB today. Finally we got to see Dr. Lake again. He immediately came in and gave me a hug. Thankfully I gained the weight I lost back and then some. Heartbeat was good. Dr. Lake said he wants to start seeing me once a week from here on out and the later twice a week. He asked if we had heard anything about the tests and we said no. He told us that we were going to do a c-section. He explained that we don't know what is going to happen so he wanted to know how aggressive want to be as far as trying to save the baby and we told him that we wanted to do what is best for the baby. Then he said we could do another ultrasound today.
After talking to everyone and doing my own research I knew the things I wanted to see and look for. The UT was great. She let me ask all the questions I wanted and looked at everything I wanted to see. This time his legs had grown a little but not much they now measured 18 weeks (last time the measured 17). His head, chest, and abdomen were measuring normally which is very good ( one of my main concerns). I asked her if she could see if he was opening and shutting his hands since we had been told of clinched fists. He was opening and shutting them. We could see all of his fingers and he was also sucking on them. He was drinking the fluid which is good (that was a bad sign for Camptomelic). She didn't see any built up fluid around his head or anything. We couldn't tell if his eyes were far apart or not because of the way he was laying. The UT said possibly they could be slightly but she wasn't sure. She let me see him in 4D. He looked absoultely perfect to me!! He has the cutest nose!!
We go back to the specialist at 28 weeks and they should do a 3D to check for the facial features then but I was very happy with what we saw today!!
