Courtney is high risk, so she had another ultrasound to make sure the baby was OK. He/she is not only doing OK....but was even did a little dance for them, When they tried to video tape the baby played games and stood still! After a while, he/she decided to move his legs and arms so they would have a keepsake to share! The baby's heart rate is 168 bpm. This time he/she measured right on schedule at 8w5d. At Courtney's first ultrasound, the baby measured 4 days earlier than Courtney thought at 6w1d instead of 6w5d.....There was a growth spurt and right on schedule. The baby is due on April 1st, 2010, but who knows...We might get a surprise on Courtney's birthday a few days earlier on March 22nd. Courtney will be 22 and Mike will be 24 when the baby is born. I (grandma) will be 46 and grandpa will be 46. We can't wait!
Courtney and Mike will get to hear the heart beat again in 2 weeks (10w5d).
Congrats and continued good luck to your whole family. Exciting times.
