Good News

Well we have some good news on the baby front. The ultrasound went great, other then being painful, because our little one doesn't like to turn the right way so they can see what they needed to see, so they have to push pretty hard sometimes.

We had the ultrasound to check on the baby's size and position. The baby is in the right position, head down. What I have been feeling in my ribs for the last few months is the baby's boney butt :) So that is good.

Also, the Dr was worried about the baby's size since I was measuring ahead 2 weeks. With all of the measurements they take during the ultrasound they determined the baby's weight to be approxmiately 6lbs 6 oz. which is great! I have 3 weeks left on Monday until I hit 40 weeks (though they consider you full term at 37 weeks). So if the baby does what it is supposed to and gains an ounce a week for the next 3 weeks, it won't be a big baby! YEAH!!!

Though they did say the head was a little big, but hopefully the body will catch up or they were off on that measurement a little bit.

What was really neat is that we could see the baby's hair in the ultrasound! So the baby will have some hair when it is born. We could also see it moving its mouth and fingers. We still didn't want to find out the sex and that wasn't a problem, because it had its legs crossed the whole time :)

Now just to see if there is any progress at my appt on Monday.

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Adios! :)
