An Elise Update

Yesterday we had another Ultrasound to see how big Elise is.

I was measuring larger than my dates indicate, so the Doctor wanted to make sure that Elise wasn't too big.

We haven't heard from the Dr. Office yet, but the technician said that she is measuring about 1/2 week larger than normal.  I doubt that is much to be concerned about.  

However, they will take her 20 week ultrasound and compare it to this 26 week ultrasound to determine her growth rate.  Then, they can see if she's growing or gaining weight too quickly.

Her heart rate was 146 bpm which is the slowest we've heard so far.  But, we think she'd been sleeping.

She weighs about 2 lb. 3 oz.  Which is hard to believe, because Nora was born at 3 lb. 9 oz. and we still have 13 weeks left!

Here's a few pics from yesterday.

Profile.  She was opening and closing her mouth when the tech was taking this picture.

Re-confirmation that it's definitely a girl!
