We had an appointment yesterday with the specialist for a growth ultrasound. Maggie looks perfect! She is weighing in at 1 lb, 6 oz which is right on track. The doctor checked her growth, the amount of amniotic fluid, and blood flow through the placenta and umbilical cord. He said that often if pre-eclampsia were going to reoccur as early as last time, that we should see some sign (low fluid, poor blood flow) by now. Since everything looks perfect, he is very optimistic.
We go back in about 2 and 1/2 weeks to see her again and re-check everything. Hopefully we'll have good pictures to post then...she wasn't too cooperative yesterday when we tried to take good pictures. They might even do a 3-D ultrasound next time for us!
To celebrate our good appointments, I'm going to join Robbie in New Orleans next week for a couple of days where he'll be at a conference. Robbie has been trying to convince me for months to go, but I've procrastinated making a decision due to not knowing how the pregnancy would go. Since everything is going very well, I decided it would be ok. We are excited about our little "baby-moon"!
