We went to the doctors yesterday for my 22 week check-up and sonogram. All is well!
At week 22, they have what they call the second anatomy: full anatomy. The baby has all major organs and bones, and the spine, heart, and brain are developing normally. Little Dowdell is 1lb 5oz, which is a little big for her age. Ten fingers, ten toes, and lots of wiggling around. All tests are showing normal. I’m progressing as I should be and still feel really well. You’re supposed to gain about a pound a week after 12 weeks, which I have done.
I even stood the whole ABB concert last night. I was quite popular actually. Mothers love to stop and tell you their story and give their advice, and last night was no exception. Several of the other concert going moms wanted to chat and give advice, even the woman in front of us doing her best yoko impersonation and topping it off with a see-through top, sequin skirt, and fishnet tights.
Here’s a pic of the little one from yesterday! The 3D pics are kinda creepy actually, but look at this little profile!!! It’s incredible! We also saw the eyes moving around, which is unusual since the eyelids are fused. Curious little one…even though, as the sonogram lady pointed out, there’s barely even a thought developed 🙂
