Baby C has really plumped up. He/She weighs about 6.8 pounds and she's over 19 1/2 inches long {like a leek}. Baby has a firm grasp, which we'll soon be able to test when we hold his/her hand for the first time! The little pumpkins organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb! Anytime the little stinker is ready to make an arrival...so are we!
I had an ultrasound last Friday with the High Risk Doctor. My numbers are all still looking really good and he was really happy that I've been keeping the diabetes in control with my diet. The little babe looked great too! The ultrasound tech pointed out when the baby was taking practice breaths...that was pretty cool to see. She also showed me that the baby is sporting some hair! I swear if that baby doesn't come out looking like Rapunzel with the amount of heartburn I've had and how many Tums I have to consume on a daily basis! The estimated the baby at about 6 pounds 12 ounces, we'll see how accurate that is! {No pictures for the second scan in a row! Bummer.}
All in all, we're doing well over here! The kids change their mind almost on a daily basis whether they think the baby is a boy or a girl! Just waiting for this little one to decide when he/she will join the craziness!!
