Doctor's Appointment and a (Surprise!) 3rd Ultrasound

We had our 5th Doctor's appointment yesterday and a mild scare. The Doctor measured the length on Robin's abdomen and it had not grown very much since our last appointment. The Doctor wanted us to get another ultrasound to determine that the baby was not having any growing issues. We were able to get in for the ultrasound that same afternoon which was good for both of us as we would probably have gotten completely stressed out if we had to wait even a day. We had the same technician as the first ultrasound we did and she stated that the baby appeared to be in the normal growth range for 25 weeks. So everything is fine and as an extra bonus we continue to rack up more pictures of Baby Grover. The baby's heart rate at the doctor's office was 152 and at the ultrasound the baby's heart rate was 133. The 133 was by far the lowest recorded heart rate to date causing Jeff to look quite dumbfounded when the technician said it out loud. Robin being the thorough person she is asked the technician at the end if she still thought it was a girl. The technician checked it out and showed us and said that it would be her "guess". She did not attach a certain percentage this time and we did not push as we already have a 99.9999% that it is a girl from the 2nd ultrasound. We will post the pictures in the next post, Baby Grover once again had her head facing down and made it difficult to get good pictures of her face. This is the third time that we have heard that she is bashful, we will be surprised if Baby Grover turns into the next Paris Hilton.
