Yesterday I went to a specialist in Topeka for an ultrasound to see whether or not Boy Gilbert has spina bifida or heart problems. Good news - he looks perfect and healthy! Here's what else we learned:
-He made sure we knew he was a boy.
-He has lots and lots of hair...visible in 2 and 3D. (This explains the wicked heartburn.)
-Weighs 4 lbs 15 ozs.
-Has very active limbs...he sucked on both hands and a foot while we were watching. Dr. actually asked if anyone in the family talks with their hands (cough, Bev, cough).
-Based on fluid levels, he will probably come early. I was told to be ready by January 10, but due date wasn't changed.
-Those same high fluid levels will make me look and feel further along than I really am.
I was really excited to get to see him in 3D, but he didn't let us get a good look at his face. He had one or both hands covering him. When the tech pushed a few times to get him to move, that's when he then brought a foot up to block our view more. I'm not sure where this stubbornness is coming from! However, there was a brief peek at his little nose and mouth. I predict he will have Keith's lips and his aunt Amanda's nose. :)
I won't post the ultrasound pics this time. The only clear 2D one shows his boy parts prominently (we'll save that to embarass him later), and the 3D ones show his hands/foot. We're looking forward to meeting the little guy!
