21 Weeks 3 days - Reassuring News

Today I had my appt at Phoenix Perinatal Associates (the specialist my OB referred me to) about the two vessel umbilical cord. My appt went very well. They did a very indepth U/S and determined that Aidan's development is 100% normal for this stage in the game! According to the doctor he's a "primo little baby". His heart, kidneys, stomach, etc looked really good. The Dr checked his septum (the wall between his heart chambers) to make sure there were no holes. All his measurements came back normal and he is 14 oz which is right on target with how far along I am. So we are very relieved that the umbilical cord hasn't caused any complications at this point. I'll go back to the specialist at 32-34 weeks so they can check on his growth and I'll continue to be monitored by my own Dr every 4 weeks. He was very active today and was wiggling the whole time they were doing the ultrasound. I left the office today feeling very reassured that our little boy is doing great and is healthy. Here's a few new pictures that they took today. They even did some 3D pictures and a 4D video so you can see him wiggling around in there!

Our little boy is camera shy!


Aidan's perfect little spine


I love profile shots! There used to be a time his whole body could fit in the frame!! Now it's just his head and upper body!

All of Aidan's limbs are present and accounted for!
