Ultrasound update

Due to a concern about baby's size, we were sent for a growth ultrasound. Let me tell you, this little guy is just fine! The tech said he's about 7.5 lbs right now, at 37.5 weeks. Measurements may be off a pound or so, but they're usually pretty accurate. So, no size concerns at all- he's just really low and really squished! His face is smashed against my pelvic bones, which is why he looks the way he does. He's also got on elbow next to his face, with the hand behind his head- which explains why I've been feeling little fingers digging into the muscles just millimeters above my pelvis.

Since babies gain, on average, 1/2 a pound a week, I think it is time for an eviction notice!

Here's the little guy in all his smushed glory. Doesn't look too comfy, does he? Maybe he'll get the hint!!



Sorry about the quality. My scanner isn't operating properly and I don't have the patience to pamper it right now. I ended up taking a digital photo of the ultrasound pic after crawling around under my desk for 10 mins, trying to find the problem. In any case, we hope to have actual pictures of a real, live baby to make up for it.

Update:
Since ultrasound pics are hard to read, here's one with the details highlighted. His face is on the right side of the picture and he's resting his head on his arm. The top of his forehead is at the right margin of the picture. Hope that helps! You can click to zoom in on the pic for a better view.
