Anomaly Scan at 19 weeks

Hello dear baby beanie :)

We saw you today (21st August 2013) in 3D and 4D. We were thrilled.

The doc has scheduled an anomaly scan for us and we were more than excited that we can see you once again and this time in complete detail. When we reached Cloud Nine, we were immediately called in. It was an early scan at 5 pm itself and patients were very less.

The doc started off saying that this would be a very important scan and she would be looking at you in full detail (including measuring every part of your body) to see if you are growing at an average rate (as compared to other babies your age). While she was measuring your body parts, she was also explaining us every detail that she found. She showed us your hands, feet, head, stomach, back bone, neck bone, thigh bone and so on.

After this thorough examination, we got to see you in 3D / 4D detail. We saw your face, eyes in close up view. Your radiologist (Dr. Bhavana Dewan this time), said you were smiling. We could see your lips. At first you were shy and hiding your face with your hands, but later you moved your hands and let her scan you. Then we saw your pretty face and we were overjoyed.

During the consultation also, the doc said everything looked fine and even though I had lost weight again ( I lost another .5 kgs from my last appointment), it was more important that you were growing very well. It did not matter what my weight was as far as you looked good. We have our next consultation on 4th Sep. Its going to be a general monthly checkup.

Right now, I think I feel a lot of your movements every now and then but I am not really sure its you :).  Hope to feel you kicking soon. Just waiting for that moment.
