Today I had an ultrasound done. I have a low lying placenta so I get a few extra ultrasounds to make sure it's going in the right direction or else...(play dramatic music in your heads now)...I have to have a c-section. I was hoping today would tell us one way or the other but the ultrasound tech said it still might be too close to call. I have to wait until I talk to my OB on Monday. Anyway, the fun part was getting to see this baby again and see how he's grown. And boy is he ever growing!! The tech took all his measurements and then sat at her desk to do the numbers. She started laughing and then asked me if I have ever had a big baby before. I mentioned Collette (9 lbs 4 oz) and she said, "Good, because this one is running in the 90th percentile for weight already." Right now, he's about one pound more than the average baby.
She also mentioned that he is truly a cute baby already. And apparently, I should trust her because she sees lots of babies and they definitely don't all look as cute as he does! So here is the photo shoot from the day. And I trust her...He looks like a pretty darn cute baby to me, too
I agree - pretty cute baby, indeed! When is your due date?
ReplyDeleteJune 20th, which also happens to be the date of my brother's wedding. Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteOkay, I know he's cute because he's my grandson....but for the life of me, I can't read ultrasounds. It could be a turnip or rolled roast for all I can figure.
ReplyDeleteReally? It all seems so obvious to me... the first picture is of the profile of the baby's head (face). The right side is the top of his profiled head and the far left ends at his chest. The bottom picture is frontal shot of his face (he's laying on his side almost like on a pillow of my uterus facing the camera. His face is just in the top portion of the picture. The bottom half is mostly uterus. does that help at all??
ReplyDeleteI agree he is going to be a cute baby. Although I think that ultrasounds kind of make them look like aliens, so he's a cute little alien.
ReplyDeleteps. that was from Stephanie not Mike
ReplyDeleteHey Laura! He is cute. Don't let anyone tell you that he is "breathtaking"! I had to have a c section with Kate, and then I had natural with Hannah. You are a rockstar either way. Benefit of a c section, no cone head.
