Anatomy ultrasound with PIPs

[katinthehat]

We had our anatomy ultrasound today at 21 weeks and it was great.  I love this part of pregnancy.  Little Fellow is huge, at 1lb2oz already which is about a week ahead.  That's no surprise given that my second baby was 9lbs.  Thank goodness for a scheduled c/s   I haven't had GD before in my two previous births and I've only (?) gained 11lbs so he's just going to be a not-so-Little Fellow.

Speaking of GD, my test is next at 24 weeks and I have the only OB in the world who tells you to eat breakfast before so the test doesn't suck.

And super cute pictures  -

HUGE FEET!  DH and I both run and the tech said he had runners feet and thighs, lol

That first pic is so funny. I told my H sometimes it feels like I'll get a roundhouse kick and now I know that is indeed possible.

Great pics! He *does* look like a runner! We're runners too, and I'm always imagining my very active baby is practicing for a track workout or something.

Do most doctors tell you not to eat before the 1 hour GD screening? My midwives told me I should eat a non-sugary breakfast. I didn't realize that was not the norm. I'd be a horrible person if I couldn't eat breakfast!

Super cute! The first one looks like he's playing with his umbilical cord.

[Myrrhine]

Yay! That is awesome to see; he looks very cute.

Super cool pictures! Glad to hear everything looks good.

Glad it went well!

I have not has my GD test yet, but asked about it at my last appt. I was told they do not recommend fasting prior to the one hour test.

My previous pregnancy I did not fast before the one hour and failed. I did fast before the three hour and passed. I do sort if wonder if my one hour results would be better if I fasted beforehand.

I ate breakfast. No dietary restrictions. I had eggs and peanut butter on toast. And I passed! And I felt like crap afterwards, even after eating and guzzling water. 

I thought fasting was just for the 3 hour.

That might be true but for whatever reason, when I think just off the top of my head, it seems most of my friends fast for the 1 hour too.  But that could be a misconception on my part.

What great pics! Our little guy was sleeping face down and with his legs crossed at our a/s.

Love the feet shots and profile view!
