Baby's foot (toes to right of screen)
Baby's finger..."I'm number one!"
Baby's finger.....Is that little stinker flicking us off????These ultrasound pix are a little harder to see as the baby is all squished inside!
Well, the doctor office fit us in today for our ultrasound and a quick "39 wk" checkup. I can hardly believe it was our 7th ultrasound this pregnancy! I guess they wanted to be aggressive and overly cautious considering all we went through to get pregnant. This time going into the ultrasound I was NOT nervous. I just knew all would be OK with our Baby Blackmore. My thoughts were confirmed. The baby looked great and has continued to grow strong! The stinker weighs 7 lb 14 oz (always measures bigger on the ultrasound) and heartbeat was strong at 141bpm. Cindy (the ultrasound tech), said there was plenty of amniotic fluid and the cord was not wrapped around the neck. The lungs, kidneys and heart were all working fine today. She said the baby has dropped into the pubic area and waiting for "his" birthday! I was measuring right on my due date of 12/16. So, despite the fact that my belly was measuring small...the baby was measuring above average and thriving still! Yea!!!! The stinker was SO cute still with those chubby cheeks. I can hardly wait to pinch on them! She said the baby had big feet as well. Seeing our baby was just the motivation I needed to get through these next few weeks! We go back next Monday for our "40" week checkup. They will check then to see if I am dilated. They will let me go at least a week over my due date and then decide about induction. So, if I don' t have the baby by the 21st...then we will look into a delivery date. Ugh....right up to the X-Mas time! As long as this stinker comes before Christmas...I'm OK with waiting.
