Our pep talks have been working; Baby is right in place, head down, for delivery. Definitely a good thing! Otherwise, the heartrate was good, and baby is growing right on track. The ultrasound estimate was around 5 lb 13 oz today, at week 36. Those estimates are very loose, but give a general idea.
Next week we are clear to head out to our big family beach trip. The midwife said she would be very surprised if LC makes an appearance in the next week or so. I have been feeling great. She does have a friend who is a midwife in Pawley's Island and delivers at two local hospitals, so we have a back-up plan, just in case. The heat is definitely affecting me more than most summers, but I am still fairly comfortable and mobile. Sleep is a thing of the past at our size, but that is only going to get worse in the immediate future. We are so excited now that we can think about the trip and seeing the family!
And now, what you really want to see.... Pictures! We got good 3D pics this time, now that baby's face is away from the placenta (and where it is supposed to be!). You can see the umbilical cord running in front of baby's face, near the upper lip, and an arm is up by the face snuggling. (Mental Image: a Captain Planet style delivery.) You can even see eyelashes and a little bit of dark hair in some of the pics!
There's our little LC!!! Looks so snuggly!!
