Dear Gracyn,
We loved seeing you at the ultrasound last Friday. You were measuring 14.5 inches long and 3.3 lbs. In the 70th percentile for growth! Your muscles and
lungs are continuing to mature...we even got to see you practice breathing during the ultrasound! Your head is growing bigger to make
room for your developing brain.....We already know you are a little smartie...You would peek at us with one eye and then kick HARD because you didn't want that probe on Mommy's belly! Your way of communicating with us to leave you alone! :-)
One cool thing that Mommy (the nurse) picked up on was the umbilical cord...she pointed out the 3 arteries in the cord! Once I realized what I was looking at, it became clear, but it took her trained eye to see it! With a healthy umbilical cord, you are getting the blood and nutrients needed from Mommy and the placenta to be as healthy as you are! Speaking of healthy, this trimester,
about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in your hardening
skeleton each day.
You are head down again (which is good) and at first, you were facing Mommy's spine .....I thought Oh No.....here we go again....not going to see that beautiful face, but the ultrasound tech was really good and had Mommy turn on her side....sure enough, you showed that beautiful face! We are soooo in love!
Love, Grandma Dason
