The Good Stuff is in the Details

Baby Brown #3 is due October 16.

At my first doctor visit, the dr. saw a "small pocket of blood behind the placenta" in the ultrasound (which was given just to ease my worries of another miscarriage). She had me go back a week later for another ultrasound to see if the blood had dissolved as they most often do. At the second ultrasound, the collection of blood was still there, but smaller. I am going back for another u/s on April 8. The image at left was the 2nd one given at 9 weeks. The head is on the right. All the way to the left are the two little legs sticking straight up. One arm is visible at the top.


Not sure what you're loooking at? Me either. The part labeled CRI is the head and the line measures head to rump. This was the 1st u/s given at almost 8 weeks. At both appointments I saw the heart fluttering and could hear the heartbeat going strong at 159 beats per minute.
