Week 39

We have made it to week 39. So close to the finish line, but it seems so far away. The books states that during this week the baby is making preparations for their arrival. After our doctor's appointment today, it would appear our baby is quite content with staying where it is at and not ready to make preparations for its arrival.

Also, today we had an ultrasound. As stated in the last blog, this was due to measuring to small. The ultrasound went well and everything looks good. The shocker was that our baby is no longer on the small end (25th percentile), but instead moved to the above average larger end (76th percentile). Yes that is right...we are now expecting an above average size baby. Yikes!! That was not what I was expecting. According to the mathematical calculations performed during the ultrasound, the baby weighs approximately 7 lbs 9 oz right now. Lets hope the baby changes its mind and decides it wants to come real soon. The doctor also informed us that during the ultrasound they could tell that our baby is practicing breathing. I am not sure if that is normal or not. He seemed to think it was pretty cool.

Below is a photo from our ultrasound today. It shows the baby's face. Garrett and I were both shocked to see how chubby the cheeks were. Which we also found to be quite cute.

And below is my latest baby bump photo.
