Lil' Campodonico is 20 weeks and 2 days old today and we had a very long, specific and exciting ultrasound. I have not been able to feel her yet because I have an anterior placenta, which means it's in the front. It's normal, obviously, because its placement can be anywhere and depends upon where the egg was implanted in the uterus. Anyway, I was told that I might not feel her give me a swift one until she is about a pound. Crazy that that is not so far away!!!! Sure enough, she was moving around SO much! Her ten fingers and ten toes were opening and closing, legs kicking away like crazy, her body wiggling. She is very, very active. And she is doing great! We were told she is on target for her weight and length. Her bones and all major organs (which we explored at length....including the 4 chambers of the heart, bladder, stomach, brain hemispheres, kidneys etc), all look stellar as well. She weighs somewhere between 10-12 oz and it about 7 inches long, head to bum and not including her legs. As if the technology of the ultrasound wasn't astounding enough, the dr. flipped a switch and - voila - there was our daughter in 4D!!!!!!!! Whoa. Her little face was so so so cute! Too early to tell who she looks like, of course. I just keep hoping she has her daddy's smile :-)
