Today was my scheduled ultrasound with the technician. This is the one that was scheduled two weeks ago when my doctor was "concerned" about how low I'm carrying, and I made him go ahead and do one that day - he still wanted me to get in with the tech for more accurate measurements. In the meantime, I've had yet another ultrasound, since I had some weird things happen last weekend.
Today's was a good ultrasound; we got to see things more clearly with the technician driving. We even saw hair! (well, I would have had no idea it was hair, and am still shocked that anyone could TELL it was hair, but that's what she said....)
The scariest part? When she said that the baby was measuring for a March 28 delivery! What?!?!?! "Um, I mean FEBRUARY 28, sorry!!" So, either I'm going to go earlier than anticipated, or I'm going to have a huge baby. Jeff asked if it was "bad" that the baby was measuring big. She said no, big babies are better than small babies. I pointed out that sure, that's easy for everyone ELSE in the room to say, since this "big baby" is not coming out of their bodies!! However, of course I want a healthy baby above all, and if that means 10 pounds, bring it on! I'll be on drugs anyway.
Heart rate was in the 150s. They still say it's an old wives' tale, being able to determine gender based on the heart rate, but for curious minds, I wanted to let you know.
She did say that I don't necessarily look six months pregnant. I hope that pays off after the baby is born, but I doubt it with the amount of chocolate I have been eating for the past 28 weeks! Baby is moving quite a bit more now than it was at the end of November, Lucas is starting to figure out something is coming up, and I think we may finally have names picked out for a boy AND a girl. Now if we could just pick paint colors for the nursery!
