24-25 weeks pregnant (check-up with ultrasound)


Today, we (finally) had our next check-up with the gynecologist. (Finally, because the last one was a while ago and this one was postponed by one week.) This time we had an extensive ultrasound during which the gynecologist checked almost every detail of our little Kleintje. He checked the spine, the brain, the heart, the stomach, the bladder, the kidneys, and all those kinds of things. He also took pictures of all of them for his records. He confirmed us that everything was just fine with the baby, which is of course always good to hear. He did some measures of the baby and it looked like he is around 25 weeks old but it remains a rough estimate. A funny thing though was that our Kleintje did not show one of his arms on the ultrasound, even after the gynecologist tried really hard to get him moving (you can ask Hanneke about this, hehe)! The arm was probably hidden behind his head and therefore invisible on the ultrasound. Because the gynecologist really wants to see every part of the baby, Hanneke has to come back in one week. Of course, we don't mind seeing our little one again!

On the ultrasound pictures, you can see the baby's face. If you can spot the "missing" arm, let us know! :)
