Austin is growing well and healthy as could be. He is still in the 90s for height and weight percentiles (though he was too wiggly to get a good height measurement at our appointment, so I measured him again once we got home and he was more cooperative).
Baby Girl continues to grow well and look great on ultrasound. We are 29 6/7 weeks today, so we hit 30 weeks tomorrow! Yay! Getting closer and closer to full term every day and growing big and strong. The placental abruption is all walled off and inactive. The rest of the placenta looks great and shows no sign of insufficiency since baby is growing so well. She is actually getting so big that it is hard to see her on ultrasound, because you can only see parts at a time. We got a peek at her beautiful beating heart and even saw her making breathing movements. Usually, babies don't start "practice breathing" until about 32 to 34 weeks gestational age, so she's advanced for her age!
Here is a picture of baby's shoulder, part of her chest/ribs, neck, and side of her head. I think that is even her little ear barely visible along her head.
Here you can see her beautiful heart...though it is much easier to see it working when you watch it moving on the ultrasound in real time.
We have another level 2 ultrasound in 2 weeks (December 2) and our next checkup December 9. Next week, we are looking forward to spending time with family for Thanksgiving!
