Yesterday, we had our 2nd (and probably last) ultrasound. Since Baby Sugar and Spice was so sleepy during our first ultrasound, they offered us another ultrasound to check the parts of her body that we didn't see and measure the first time around. This also gave us the reassurance that her growth is on target.

After the ultrasound, the doctor came in to assure us that growth and development are right on track and absolutely normal. We were so relieved...especially after our sonographer came back in to double check on the baby's pallet (apparently we didn't get a really good look the first time). As far as the ultrasound shows, we should have a perfectly healthy baby joining us this winter! We will keep praying, but we are glad to know things are on the right track.

As of yesterday, Baby Sugar and Spice was approximately 2lbs and 2 oz. I was 27 weeks and 1 day, and she was measuring 27 weeks and 3 days. Sooo....that means growth is just about perfect and that my due date is still set for December 2 (they would only move it if growth were off by a few weeks).

Here are a couple of good pictures from the ultrasound yesterday:

This is her profile (look at those pouty lips!), and the bubble above her face is a cross section of her umbilical cord.

Here is her face, head-on. You really have to know what you are looking at to tell where the facial features are, but I will do my best to describe. She is turned on her side, facing the left side of the picture. Moving from the far left of the picture, you can see her body/chest...then her little chin and lips...then her button nose...and you can kind of see her eyes (the right eye is towards the top of the picture while the other one is in the dark shadow in the middle of the picture). She already looks like a cutie-pie to me!
