Yesterday was our second big ultrasound and the baby got a very thorough examination. The good news is that everything looks great. There were no obvious spinal issues (spina bifida, which is an opening in the spinal column would be the biggest worry at this point), and the brain, heart, kidneys and bladder all looked good. The baby's size was within normal range, and all fingers and toes were present and correct. Physical abnormalities such as club foot and cleft palate were also not present. All in all, a great success.
On the "host" side of things, K was very reassured to find out that her cervix was nice and long, which banished any fears of premature birth caused by an "incompetent cervix". This worry had stayed with her since the bleeding issues of the first trimester, so she was really, really happy to get this great news.
And now for some snapshots!
