They also confirmed what I knew right along, we are having a BIG baby. She currently weighs 6 lbs and 6 ounces already! That puts her in the 80 percentile. The average baby at 34 weeks weighs 4 and 3/4 lbs. Ava at 34 weeks only weighed 5 lbs and 9 ounces. They measured her legs and mentioned how long her legs are. I can attest to that with all her kicks and movements. They say the baby gains half a pound each week from this point on. Heaven help me! The technician said sometimes bigger babies make an earlier debut, I sure hope so for my sake!
Normally we would have screen shots to share but this little one had her head down and would not face us. Not even a profile shot could be seen. She was not turning even after nudging her to do so. So no 3D photos of our love was taken. I was so looking forward to compare hers to Ava's but no such luck. We did get to see a lot of hair on the back of her head. Ava was born with a fair amount too. Now the question is: is it brown, blonde or red??? LOL
The baby is in the head down position. I knew this already with all the pressure I feel and constant trips to the ladies room.
Seeing our little one again and learning about her was really exciting. I have been experiencing some pregnancy blues but going today definitely chased those away. We can't wait to meet our newest love!

Maurilia,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you posted tonight!!! I was planning on texting you tonight to see how you were feeling. Actually I texted you and then cancelled it because I thought it was a bit late :) I haven't bumped into you around here so I've been wondering how your doing getting so close!
I'm glad to hear that all is well with blessing #2!
I hope for you that she decides to arrive early!
We are so excited for you! Ava Sophia and I were just talking about the baby today!
We went to Walmart and there was a newborn crying she was asking about babies so we were talking about babies and when she was a baby growing in my belly and said "Ava's mommy has a baby in her belly?" Too cute! I told her yes and soon we would meet the baby! She said "Oh Yay!"
Hope you girls are getting your rest and relaxation :) Let me know if you'll have any free time soon! We would love to see you! <3
Glad to hear your feeling well!

Thanks Jackie! I have definitely been taking it easy. There are days where I don't feel like doing a thing and then others where I get a boost of energy and do a lot. It's so random & I just play it as it comes.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you ladies soon!

So exciting! Glad to hear that blessing #2 looks healthy! I only had one ultrasound with each Grace and Abby so that is great that you have been able to have a few. It is all just so amazing! Take care in these last few weeks!
