17-week echo
Time for another update on our little one. On Saturday August 9 we had a checkup with ultrasound at 17 weeks 2 days. All continues to go well. The placenta is in a good spot. Though the baby seems to be a little bit on the small side, he/she is developing just fine, so there’s nothing to be worried about. I knew this, but must say that I was relieved anyway. The pic shows baby’s spine clearly visible, and the black spot is the stomach. This time bub was asleep AND we could see him/her sucking a thumb! That was soooo cute. The pic doesn’t show this but we’ll try to upload the movie that Manuel made so you can see it as well.
At the time of the echo baby measured 11.4 cm, with a heartbeat of 153 BPM.
Mummy B’s belly is hesitantly starting to show, but still in the dubious phase where people that don’t know me probably think I’m just chubby. Top buttons are being opened and regular clothes are about to be replaced by comfy maternity cloths. It is too hot in Tokyo to be wearing stuff that fits tight.
