Dr. Seeker apparently had a LOT of babies to deliver on Tuesday and his schedule was all out of whack! Our appointment was at 3:30 and we finally went back to the room about 5:30 - no joke! Good thing I really like the doctor.
The ultrasound was really cool, but the office kept most of the really good pictures for my file. They printed off a few that we need to scan in, but the pictures don't do justice to what we saw on the screen. We could see all four chambers of the heart beating, the spine, ribcage, fingers, elbows, you name it. I have to say it really is a cool technology. Dr. Seeker took some measurements of the baby's head and from head to tush and then asked if either Greg or I were big babies... I know I wasn't -- I was pretty much average, right down the middle. Greg remembers being relatively big, but Yvonne didn't seem to think that Greg was as big as Greg thinks he was. I'll have to confer with Rhonda too to see if she has any memory. According to the measurements, baby Baden is in the 80% percentile for size so far indicating a pretty good sized baby. This of course does NOT help with my mental image of trying to squeeze a watermelon out a hole the size of a lemon! But, what are you going to do? There's still plenty of time... AND, my cousin's doctor told her that Zoe was much bigger than she was... so there's still hope for a nice 7 pounder. I know they do tend to grow them big in Texas, but for once I'm okay with average!
It's also been fun being pregnant with my friend Amy and my coworker Autumn. The three of us are do within days of each other, so we have lots to talk about. Amy is the only one of us with experience -- but she's been a little busy lately planning a wedding. so we haven't talked as much as we'd like. The wedding by the way is this weekend and looks to be a blast. When we last talked Amy's daughter Emma was quite excited to see Aunt Jen for the weekend - yipee! She is such a cutie patootie. I think she's going to be an excellent big sister.
I promise to get tons of pictures this weekend while out with all my friends! Promise!!
