What a difference a week makes! I am not sure exactly how much bigger our little one is compared to the previous ultrasound but it looks as though s/he quadrupled in size!!! Well, the baby has been growing at such a healthy rate that s/he brought the due date up 2 days based on measurements! So I am now 8 weeks 2 days along.
If you look closely, I hope you can see the little arms and little leg. It also looks like there is a pony-tail on the top of its head! Because of the silly angles of the "lighting" that "pony-tail" is actually the baby's yolk sac (what nourishes our little one until there is a placenta.
I guess it is a long shot to believe I was pregnant with twins. If you saw the first ultrasound picture 2 blogs ago, you might know what I am referring to. The darn ultrasounds have a way in fooling us. The circle of "nothing" under the baby's "circle" is actually filled with blood. And it is not under the baby's "circle" as the ultrasound looks... in fact its surrounding the baby's gestational sac ("circle") causing a good amount of concern because of its size. This is the reason I am to have an ultrasound once a week until it goes away and my doctor is happy.
This ultrasound showed the blood surrounding the gestational sac had decreased in length and width... however there is much more depth to it then before. My doctor is still concerned so I will have another ultrasound next week. I am okay with this... its great to see my baby once a week!!- and I am sure you all can agree with that too! :)
PS:
Our ultrasound tech told us she just found out she is pregnant (I am pretty sure we were the first people besides her husband that she told). Her and her husband have been trying and she seems so hopeful. She (as many of us women with that kind of job would do) took a peak and feels as though the baby doesnt look like its developing like it should be and she is worried about a miscarriage. Please pray for her and her husband and the little one inside of her. Thank you!
Love,
Jessa
