Re: 21 week appointment/ultrasound! ---->

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Congrats on the great appt and u/s...There is nothing so reassuring

as seeing the little one move around doing cartwheels, etc...

I am preggo with my first too...I know that there are very few

surprises left and alot of people chose not to find out the sex, and

to each his own. For us, we found out...and let me tell you, the

surprise was there at the ultrasound appt, just not in the delivery

room...

Wishing you continued good health and lots of kicks from Peanut...

Hugs,

> Hi everyone!

> I just wanted to post that I had my 21 week ob appointment and

ultrasound yesterday afternoon! We got a couple GREAT pics of peanut

(and a couple that look like ink blot tests, LOL!)

> We did not find out the babies sex, we want to wait and be

surprised, although when I was on the table it was driving me nuts

that I *could* find out if I wanted to! But, we figure you don't get

many surprises in life, let alone the miracle of a baby being born,

so we are going to do it the old fashioned way!

> Baby is growing right on schedule and was swimming around in there

like crazy.

> I do have to have another ultrasound next appointment because the

tech couldn't get a good picture of the heart (to see all the

chambers) or of the umbilical cord attachment to see if it had 2 or

3 of something (no idea what!) Every she went to capture those

things on picture, peanut moved away too fast!

> Doctor also said I have an anterior placenta, so that's why I am

not feeling any movement yet, that I won't feel movement for another

few weeks because the baby has to kick hard enough for me to feel it

through the placenta.

> Moral of the story, peanut is doing great, and I am just tickled

and ecstatic and had to share!!

> When hubby scans the ultrasound pics I will post them!
