We had our last ultrasound this morning. That is, it will be our last as long as nothing unexpected comes up.
One of the first things the tech looked for was to confirm that Natalie was a girl. Yep, she's still a girl! No question. Natalie was head down and her head was REALLY low. So low that it was difficult getting a good face shot of her. Some quick little notes from the appt:
- Natalie measured at 3 lbs 12 oz., 50th percentile, with an estimated birth weight in the 7-8 pound range or low 8's.
- Her measurements placed her ETA at Nov. 29th, though my due date is still officially Dec. 8th
- She was measuring a little on the short side at 15 inches. Not short by much, though - the avg is about 15.7 for this time.
- Her second toe looked to me like it was just as long, if not longer, than her big toe. Cute!
- Since we didn't get a really good shot of her profile, it's hard to tell, but to me, it looked like she had a straight nose and Jeff's chiseled chin, and possibly chubby cheeks :)
- Doctor pointed out that she had a little bit of hair on her head already
- I started seeing my tummy move up and down, and not long after that the tech showed she had the hiccups! You could see her chest and stomach move with each one - so cute.
- She didn't move around a whole lot. The tech had me turn on to my side a few times to see if she could get her to start moving more. But, little Natalie must have been in nap-time mode. Though after about 20 or 30 minutes of poking and prodding, she did move a bit on the screen. I certainly felt her kicks then too.
I'll post pics when I can!
