So we went to the doctor today for an ultrasound to see if Shaylee has stopped growing like Madison did. Alicia is now about 32 weeks and to this point has been measuring just right. Today's ultrasound was just measurements and not much of the fun stuff, but it was still fun to see Shaylee moving around. We could see her kicking her little legs for a bit which was really fun. Shaylee is now up to approximately 3 1/2 pounds and seems to be developing well for the most part. There is a little tiny concern still that she may stop growing, as her abdomen is about two weeks behind (her head is just right) in development. Madison was the same way and they say it is not unusual for this to happen. However they are probably going to order another ultrasound in a couple weeks or so to see if Shaylee gets any further behind in her development so they can decide what to do from there. With Madison, she stopped growing towards the end of the pregnancy due to a smaller than normal umbilical cord, which in some cases can be dangerous to the baby. So with Shaylee they want to monitor her more closely to make sure she doesn't stay in the womb too long (if necessary). So all in all, what did we learn from this ultrasound? Not much, just more mullah to pay out in doctors bills for all these ultrasounds!
