Yesterday we went in to have our big, most important ultrasound. We appear to have a healthy baby. I say appear because of how speedy the ultrasound tech was. It took her no more than 5 minutes to look at everything she needed to see. It was the fastest ultrasound I've had, and the most disappointing. She wouldn't let us look at the screen while she scanned all the anatomy. With Madison and Juliana, we got to look while they checked everything, and it always took a little while. This time, we only got to look for a few minutes at the end, so I hardly got to see anything. Oh well....We did get to see that the baby liked having his/her hand up by his head. I hope that changed because Juliana was like that, and she came out with her hand by her cheek. I'd like to not repeat that LOL.
Madison came in at the end and she was very good. I'm sure she didn't know what she was looking at, but it was fun to have her there.
I was very tempted but we did not find out the sex. I'm very excited to have another surprise!The baby measured right on for my due date, with long legs that measured 2 weeks ahead, just like his/her sisters did LOL. The approximate weight was 12 oz, which is 70th percentile. The machine made an estimated weight of 8lbs at 40 weeks so we'll see. I think it will be more just judging from the girls weights. (Madison 7lbs 10oz at 40 weeks, 4 days, and Juliana also 7lbs 10oz but at 38 weeks 5 days). We'll see in 20 weeks or so!
Here are a few pics of baby #3!
