33 Week Sneak Peek

I went to the doctor last Monday (3/8) for a routine visit. Everything looked good. I gained 2 pounds...putting my total up to 10. The baby's heartrate was in the 150's, and my blood pressure was great. The baby, however, decided that for some reason she felt like measuring big. She measured at 34 cm, which was quite a change from the 29 cm she had measured at just 3 weeks before. The doctor decided to order a sizing/positioning ultrasound. She couldn't have been that concerned since she had me wait a week and a half to do it.

So today we got a preview of our sweet little baby. We may not have been planning on having a third ultrasound, but after seeing the baby again today we were very glad that we did. She was pretty cooperative for the first portion of the ultrasound, but she made it clear when we were done by putting her face into the placenta. She's already trying to call the shots. This could be a problem:)

Anyway, baby was head down, which is awesome. Let's just hope that she stays that way. Her measurements put her in the 59th percentile of where she should be for her gestational age. She is estimated to currently weigh about 4 pounds 15 ounces...AHHH! That seems quite large! I've heard that these aren't that accurate and can be anywhere up to a whole pound off on either side. We will be hoping she is actually less than her estimated weight...or at least I will!

I've gained a pound since my appointment a week and a half ago (up to 11)! I guess that's what happens about this time. Apparently, she will be gaining about a half pound per week until she's born. I go back in 2 weeks, and then my weekly appointments start. Where has the time gone?!? I can't believe we only have about 7 weeks left!!

These pictures are way cooler than the last ones. She looks like a real baby:)
