Today was another long doctor appt. We had a very long ultrasound and a very long wait.....over 3 hours. The tech went over the whole baby from head to toe looking at all the organs and making sure the baby was growing properly. We received 17 ultrasound pics this time. I lost half a pound this time so in all I have gained 2.5 lbs this pregnancy.
At first the baby's legs were crossed at its ankles which was really cute to see the baby relaxing through all the poking and prodding on my belly. At one point during the ultrasound its little hand was on its chin and then both hands were resting on its little belly. Of course the big focus for us was to find out if it was a boy or a girl so we kept bugging the tech to look between the legs. She said there are no boy parts poking out and she thinks its a girl but she said she was going to leave it up to the other doctors office at my next ultrasound to say for sure on record if its a girl or a boy. My other ultrasound is on the 28th at 7am so maybe they will confirm the sex then officially.
Doctor Maher said that the baby was growing normally. There is a little hole in the heart but he said it should close up before its born. The baby is 8 oz now and has long legs. I'm not able to put up the ultrasound pics yet but will try to get them scanned soon. My next appt. with Dr. Maher is August 11th at 10:45am (in 4 weeks).

Dang!! A few more weeks before we know if it's Elmer or El! Don't worry about the heart thing...it will be just fine!!
Yeah the doctor says he sees it a lot in babies around this time and like 9 outta 10 times the hole closes up.
