Sonogram at 36 weeks

I went for my 36 week check up on Friday and here is the the sonogram picture. It is not very clear but the big circle on the right is the head the face sort of on the top left. Then, to the left, that small circle is the hand. Baby is getting a little too big to capture a good picture of I guess. But, all is well, baby is in good position and did not go back to breech, yeah. My midwife said Baby is about 6lbs and could potentially gain a pound a week until due. If you do your math you will realize that would be a 9lb baby!!! Yikes! I told her I wanted a smaller baby than that and she said she wouldn't be able to help me there.

So, 4 weeks to go, depending on when Baby decides to make an appearance. Lots of movement these days still but it has changed since Baby is bigger and feels like the whole body is moving. And sometimes those kicks are rather unpleasant!

We also did the final big shopping trip and are now pretty much totally ready (if that is at all possible) for Baby's arrival. We got the car seat, 2 strollers (the first of many according to our friends -much to K's dismay), the crib mattress, and other goodies you just can't pass up when in the baby store. K installed the car seat but not nearly tight enough. I took it to the Ashburn fire station and they did an awesome job making it very, very tight. How we will ever replicate that, I am not sure. So, now that the car seat is in, I am calm. Not that I thought Baby was going to arrive 4 weeks early but I was on the phone with my cousin Heather and told her we did not have the car seat yet. She just laughed and said that is the most important thing. I was then reassured that all this time my priorities were not right when saving the car seat until the last! But, now it is in the car, we can have the baby!

Anyway, all is well for now with Baby and us too...more updates soon.
