We had the last of our early ultrasounds yesterday. First, the picture.
My usual annotated copy.
Baby is head-down and facing to your left. From head to rump, baby measures 3.03cm. That's 1.19in, and corresponds to an age of 9 weeks, 6 days. As of yesterday, baby's actual age was 9 weeks, 5 days (this moment in hyper-precision brought to you by in vitro fertilization!), so we're right on schedule. Live, you can see baby's heart beating and his/her arms and legs moving. The heartbeat, at 175 bpm, is right where it ought to be. The arm and leg movement has triggered a running gag around my house about baby waving to us, and then kicking in a "OK, I said hello, now get out of here" motion.
With all these right-on-schedule measurements, our IVF doc has decided to turn Sarah over to her regular OB. So we're all done with the fertility clinic for this go-round. We don't expect to return to the clinic until the biannual "baby party" at Mother's Day next year.
That is very inspirational stuff. Never known that feeling can be this diversified. Thanks for all the enthusiasm to extend such helpful information on this post.
