Ultrasound

Today I had another ultrasound to see how big this baby might be. I say might, because as you may know, the ultrasound can be off by a pound or two. I thought they would measure the baby's femur to tell the length, but they were just looking for weight. So, if you believe what I learned today, this baby already weighs about 5 lbs 11 oz. Whew! I am also measuring 35+ weeks, even though I'll just be 33 weeks tomorrow. His weight puts him in the 95th percentile. If he keeps growing like this, I think he'll run out of room in my stomach!
We also learned that we are still having a boy! That was the first shot we got today. According to the technician, his stuff "hasn't fallen off"! I said it was a good thing, because we'd have a lot of rearranging to do! Baby's heart rate was 138 bpm, meaning that he is nice and relaxed. Oh, and he has a head full of hair! You can see it in one of the ultrasound pictures that I've posted.
The doctor says that everything looks great. I've only gained 13 pounds, and my blood pressure is good, too. So, except for having an unnatural delivery, this pregnancy is text book perfect!
