the tests for the research project involved taking baby's measurements using ultrasound, which was cool because we got to see baby for at least 15-20 minutes while the sonographer prodded around to take different shots and measurements of baby and even the blood flows around the womb and through the umbilical cord. we also got many clear shots of baby to keep. and even got paid $10 for participating in the research. getting paid for ultrasound shots, cooool.
our baby likes to chill out quite a bit ... so it was all good for the sonographer. we also saw baby stretch out and wave and kick around. coolness. can't believe that there is something alive inside me that's growing and moving everyday! the only part that wasn't so fun was when baby didn't want to turn around so that the sonographer could get a sideway shot of the head. coughing, turning on my side and even a lot tapping by the sonographer didn't make baby budge. heh. stubborn.
so based on the CRL which came up to 5.5cm, we are 4 days ahead of the EDD, growth spurt?
doc said that to pass this 5.5cm milestone was a very good sign as scientifically, it was past the danger period.
WE ARE IN THE CLEAR!
we will only start blabbing next week though ... funny how there isn't much of an urge to spill the beans.
