When I was in last week for my appointment the midwife was concerned b\/c I was measuring 3 over again, so she asked to schedule a growth check ultrasound. She was concerned about too much extra fluid and couldn’t determine which way the baby was positioned.\u00a0 This time I didn’t protest at all.\u00a0 I’ve never had an ultrasound this late in pregnancy, so it sounded fun to me!\u00a0 So, when I came back in for my appointment this week I had called ahead and had my ultrasound appointment right after.\u00a0 (As a side note:\u00a0 I’m measuring just fine now.\u00a0 It’s so subjective to the midwife I have, and how he baby is sitting… but nothing to be concerned about.\u00a0 Which, let’s face it, I already knew, but whatever… )<\/p>\n

The ultrasound was indeed fun.\u00a0 I was able to see that the baby is measuring right on–she said it looks like the baby is measuring in the mid 7 pound mark right now.\u00a0 That really makes me happy, because they estimate the baby will gain about a\u00a0 1\/2 pound a week at this point, so that would mean she will PROBABLY come out in the high 8 pounds which isn’t bad at all.\u00a0 After Chloe being born at 7 pounds 9 ounces and then Josiah at 9 pounds 1 ounce, I was guessing this one would be over 10 pounds!\u00a0 I’m VERY excited that this baby doesn’t appear to be a giant baby.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

So, the ultrasound technician showed me all the different parts of the baby and measured and checked to make sure all the organs are working properly (everything was great!).\u00a0 The only part that was measuring a little big is the stomach area which she said is very common.\u00a0 And then she changed over to take some 3D pictures.\u00a0 THAT.\u00a0 WAS.\u00a0 SO.\u00a0 COOL.\u00a0 I can’t believe what they can do with technology these days.\u00a0 It’s amazing.\u00a0 I asked her how accurate the images are and she said they were close but a lot of times the images will have disproportionate noses, either too wide or too narrow.<\/p>\n

She got a really great picture, and then she asked about my other kids and printed them each their own picture with a caption “Hi Chloe!” and “Hi Josiah!” on them.\u00a0 The kids thought that was so fun!<\/p>\n
