My oldest and bestest friend in the world.

We had our last ultrasound this afternoon to check fetal growth and position. Everything is measuring up and looking great. We spent about half an hour with our technician checking everything out and getting our little man’s pictures taken -lol- He has a full head of hair (enough to actually see it “waving” around in the amniotic fluid!), he likes to suck on the side of his hand (yay for good sucking reflexes!), all the parts look to be in working order and in all the right places, and his heartbeat has started to even out to a nice 130 bpm.

His measurements put him around 6 pounds 1 ounce with today’s timeline of 36 weeks 3 days. Babies gain about half a pound a week till they are born, which puts me approximately at 7.5 pounds in guestimation. We had a normal ultrasound movie taken, which eventually will be transfered to the computer (boohiss on VHS tapes!) and we had 3D photographs taken as well. Kiddo was pretty much set that he wasn’t going to cooperate too well with us, so we got a few shots of his face (one where he’s seriously wearing an expression I do often). Kev says he resembles me from what we could see, I’m still having a strange time wrapping my head around the fact that this little face belongs to my baby! and that baby is going to be here VERY SOON!
