Week 24 Ultrasound
I had my last bimonthly ultrasound yesterday 
The next one I’ll have is scheduled for week 28 and then I don’t know if I’ll have any more. Although I’m sad that I won’t get to see Avery as often anymore, I’m thankful that I’ve been able to see him as many times as I’ve had (I think I’ve had like 6 ultrasounds done so far). Most moms I know have told me that they only were given 2 - 3 ultrasounds during their entire pregnancies.
Yesterday’s ultrasound was the most special I’ve had so far. Patti (my favorite ultrasound tech) treated me to another 3D ultrasound. This time, we were able to capture Avery’s face in print very clearly compared to the other times when you couldn’t really determine what was on the printout. He looks like a real baby now! His cheeks are fat, lips are full, nose is long and sort of looks upturned and his chin is pointed. On one of the prints, he looks a lot like his daddy when he was a baby.
The perinatologist said that Avery is developing wonderfully, although is on the bigger side. He predicts that Avery will be born longer and heavier than normal. Yesterday, he weighed 1 pound, 6 ounces and just a little over 12 inches long. The perinatologist said that normal weight at this time is 1.3 pound (600gm) and normal length is 11.8 inches (30cm) long. I guess all the Filipino food I’ve been feeding the little peanut has really been fattening him up.
