Week 38 (Ultrasound)

So we had the ultrasound this Monday at the Hudson office. Now it is not normal to have an ultrasound this late in the pregnancy but the doc needed to figured out the size of the baby so he had to do one. It turns out that the even with a 2 lb margin in either direction our little bubble was not fat.

We were very excited that we will be able to clearly see the face of the baby and perhaps figure out whose nose or lips he/she has copied. However, the baby is “such a baby” ..whole time he/she was facing the back and never turned so we couldn’t see the face completely (unlike the first ultrasound when he/she had a photogenic smile on !! However, a lot of pushing and playing the nurse was able to show us the lips and nose. Wow the baby was frowning. can you believe that ..ATTITUDE !!!! At one point the baby did gave us a thumbs-up as if everything is perfect inside..how are you guys !!

The nurse went around measuring the rest of the kid (head, stomach, etc.), showing me Small Monster’s little heart pumping like crazy and pointing out bits and pieces, and let me know the kid was healthy, and proportional. The baby’s weight based on her measurement s were 6.7 lbs which is slightly lower than normal but not so lower that we need to worry. Not that I don’t trust the word of nurse but it will be kind of nice to hear the same from the doc. After all he Is the one who wanted the ultrasound in the first place. So Friday is the when Doctor speaks.
