Fetal Cardiac Scan II
Anne had another fetal cardiac scan last Tuesday. All seems to be well with our little bundle fo joy. Unfortunately we didn't get a picture, and Anne couldn't see much (note to ultrasound depts - PUT A SCREEN ON THE CEILING!). However, I saw some of what was going on - including an amazing close-up of our boy's heart pumping away - you could even see the valves opening and closing. Fantastic. They did a few measurements too, the one I remember is that his femurs are a shade under 5cm long, and his estimated weight is just under 1 kilo. Aww.
Anne is doing well, although baby is kicking quite a bit now. She tends to be OK in the mornings, but starts to get uncomfortable as the day wears on. Obviously there's not really much I can do, apart from be there and be understanding (and I do try, honestly!).
