Enero 5 - January 5 - 2005. Felidia, Valle.
ULTRASOUND January 20, 2005. 22 weeks. Dr. Freddy Briceño
ECOGRAFIA Enero 20, 2005, 22 semanas, Dr. Freddy Briceño
OUR BABY IS PERFECT - TODO ESTA MUY BIEN
Dr. Briceños did a ´third level´ ultrasound, which means
that he spent lots of time, looking for EVERYTHING possible.
He confirmed three times that our little person is a girl, and that everything
is in working order...her heart, her stomach, her spinal cord, her brain,
all of her fingers and toes, etc etc.
Here we see her profile...it seems that she has inherited my nose.
Here we can see her spinal cord and head.
She moved around quite a bit during the ultrasound, making it easy to see
everything we wanted to see!
This, apparently, is an arm (I think you need a degree in obstetrics to really
recognize most of what we saw!).
The hand is a bit easier to recognize...it´s hardly visible, though.
Can you see it to the right of the ´D´of the word HAND?
Here, the doctor was measuring Amelie´s leg bones. He finished the measurement,
and asked me if I was SURE that I was only 22 weeks pregnant...Apparently
Amelie is going to be on the large side - the 75th percentile, according to
his charts.
Again...it´s hard to understand much of this one without a degree in
obstetrics.
But it seems that all is fine with the umbilical cord and blood supply to
and from it.
Leonor and I are totally captivated by little Amelie´s acrobatics showing
on the other monitor at the foot of the bed.
Behind me is a photo of a sperm penetrating an egg. Cool picture!
I´m smiling because I´m delighted that our little person is a
girl!
Eduardo, Leonor and Jackie (and Amelie below!) Three generations!
I´m definitely needing those maternity clothes, now!
I´m standing in front of a wall hanging made of ´molas´
in our apartment.
Me again, proudly displaying my feminine attire.
(I think that this is the first time in my life that I have bought pink clothes...)
