We got to go to see the midwife again yesterday. Since we were having an ultrasound Justin came to go with us. The baby is facing my back, so there aren't any pictures this time. That's good news for delivery though, since Kate was so difficult facing forward. The baby that appeared to be so big, is estimated to only weigh six pounds right now. The midwife said that my fundal height continues to be high, so apparently I'm just carrying out in front and high. My weight, blood pressure, and baby's fluid levels all look good, so we may be waiting to meet this baby until he or she is evicted at 42 weeks, since there is no reason to rush him or her along.

Justin was assured that in the six years that she had been at the practice that no babies had been delivered on the side of the road, but that some did come within 10 minutes of arriving at the hospital. She told him that babies born that quickly were nearly always healthy and we could just call 911 for help. He didn't seem to think that was of much reassurance though.

Ultrasound!

We had our ultrasound today. Baby was horribly uncooperative! He or she stayed with his back turned (no I don't know gender, but the he/she is getting daunting!). We got some great shots of the spine.

The kidneys were working, as where the stomach, and heart. We got a shot of the baby's foot too.

Kate had a great time. She decided that the baby is a boy. She's the only one who looked during the gender portion, so if anyone knows, it's her. You'll just have to take her word for it until November, unless your my mom. Then you get a security envelope with extra padding because the tech said she could read it when it was held up to the light!

There aren't any profile shots, because baby's back was turned, oh I mentioned that already? This is the best shot of the body and (back of the) head.

I go back in July and we'll try again. The scan was considered incomplete since the baby's face could not be seen.
