Haha!! This picture absolutely cracks me up!!! It might be one of my most favorite pictures of all time. He's such an ornery little toot! We had our 24 week appointment with our doctor today and we got to see Maddie Kate again! I asked to have another ultrasound because I wanted to make sure there was enough fluid in there...since I had low fluid with Landon it makes me nervous. We were so happy to get to see her again and an attending physician did the ultrasound. He was very thorough and said that she looks great! Here's what she's up to this week according to Baby Center:
Your baby's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts her at just over a pound. Since she's almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), she cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but her body is filling out proportionally and she'll soon start to plump up. Her brain is also growing quickly now, and her taste buds are continuing to develop. Her lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help her air sacs inflate once he hits the outside world. Her skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon.
Here are a few of our pictures from today. The top one is her foot and the next two are profile shots...she didn't want to cooperate for good pictures...we didn't care. We were just happy that she's doing okay in there!
I can't believe that we have less than 16 weeks left until she's due...we still have a lot to do but I know it will all come together and we are enjoying our last few months as a family of 3 as we prepare for our new addition.
