He's looking good!

We had an ultrasound today to check back in on Griffin's choroid plexus cysts. They're totally gone, and he looks very healthy. We couldn't see much since of course it's getting pretty tight in there, but he held still well enough that we did get to see his face a bit, and confirmed that he is absolutely male. He's measuring six days ahead of the average, which is in the 75th percentile at just over 6lbs.

We also got to see him "practice breathing" which was fun. The tech used the setting that they usually use to see blood traveling through the heart and the umbilical cord, and instead focused it on his face. We could see red and blue around his nose as he "breathed" amniotic fluid.

Just make sure you clear it with Mombi first. She's very protective of the belly. :)

Good grief, I'm having a dislexic morning or something! It just took me three times to get past the "type these letters" confirmation to post a comment on my own blog!
