So at our last appointment on Friday I was measuring big and my doctor was worried about how big the baby was getting. So she sent us for another ultrasound.
We got it done yesterday. A baby at 39 weeks is pretty scrunched up in there so it was hard to tell what a lot of the body parts were. She confirmed he is definitely a boy and gave us a couple of pictures of the face and profile. The one on the left is the face looking at us. I pointed to the eyes, nose and mouth. Just the right eye is really visible, the left seems to be in the shadow. The picture on the right is the profile. You can clearly make out the little nose, but the mouth is kind of odd because there's some of the umbilical cord or some bubbles or something right in front of it. We did get to see him move and he is doing well practicing his breathing. All in all, the technician said everything looks good. He is in the 66th percentile for size which puts him right at 8 pounds at 39 weeks. So we'll just have to see how much longer we wait as to how much bigger he gets. We go back to my doctor on Wednesday to discuss the results and see what she wants to do.
