Baby Update

I had another ultrasound yesterday. And, if you thought an ultrasound was interesting before, try taking your 5 1/2 year old with you! Matthew had alot of questions. Like why could we see the baby's bones and not mine. Where is the baby's back? Can the baby see us? Can the baby hear us? And then the best one: Where was I when you were a baby, Mommy? I finally told him he needed to ask Daddy. (Yes, I am a wimp) At least he hasn't asked yet where baby's come from. I don't know if I'm ready for that conversation!

On to the more mundane. The baby weighs about 3 1/2 pounds right now which is perfectly average. It appears that this poor child is going to have a head like Matthew, however. It's head is measuring at about 32 weeks (I'm only at 30). It's abdomen is right at 30 weeks and the femur is measuring at about 28 weeks. So, it looks like I'm going to have a shorty with an oversized head. Everything else is normal, and the baby's turned already. Of course, I could have told the doctor that since I could feel it turn last week. Definitely not the most comfortable feeling! The doctor wrote the orders for my c-section yesterday, so I'll probably get it scheduled next week. It sounds like I can pretty much pick my day and time the week of Dec. 10th!
