Yesterday we had our 22 week anatomy scan and ultrasound. The two pictures we received are posted to the right, the quality is not that great but it was very cool to see how much Avery has grown since our last ultrasound a few weeks ago. The doctor said she is in the breech position, which does not mean anything at this point, just that she likes to stand upright...and Ashley can tell that she is trying to walk around seeing that Avery is directly on top of Ashley's bladder as she practices:)
The anatomy scan showed that everything is developing properly. We were able to see all four chambers of her heart, they measured the length of her femur, tiba, fibula, humerus and they checked to make sure that all of her organs are in the right place. They checked out her brain and skull as well. So far, so good!
At this point in the pregnancy, all of the books say that we can determine wake and sleep patterns. Avery is pretty active around 8am, 3pm, 10pm and 4am. So, if that is her sleeping pattern now, we'll have to find out what happens once she enters the real world!
Avery weighs about 1lb right now and is almost 1 foot long. Her sense of taste is developing, she is practicing her acrobatics and breathing techniques, growing hair on her head, and is even sucking her thumb already...she has been bee pretty busy in the past few weeks!
Our next appointment is mid-July and our next ultrasound is scheduled at 30 weeks, so in about 8 more weeks we will see her again!
