Nova in 4 dimensions


today was super fun! We had a great day in the O.R., with 2 really good teaching cases, and lots of good stuff to learn. Then, in the afternoon I came back to the clinic, and one of the ultrasound techs did a quick 4D ultrasound for me! We don't offer 4D ultrasounds at my regular hospital, and so i haven't actually even seen one done before, only the pictures.

Little Nova co-operated pretty well. There was definately some wiggling around, and a fair amount of hiding behind her hand or umbilical cord, but overall she posed quite nicely for her glamour shots, and we got to have a little glimpse of what our girl might look like. Too cool!
the weather here in KY was quite nice today. When I left at 0530 it was already > 60 degrees! Awesome. That kind of weather and sunshine alone makes for a great day.
And we got some measurments. Looks like June-bug weighs about 12 pounds, and is 24 inches long at 4.5 months. That puts her in the 45% for weight and 75% for height on American charts. I'm wondering if maybe she isn't a little older than 4 months. In her pictures she really looks a little bit older, like more about 6 months. I know a lot of times the birth dates are an estimation, and may be more like the date she was taken to the orphanage. anyway, she is beautiful, and looks happy and healthy.
