ultrasound update

Last week we went for our 36 week check-up. After measuring my uterus, the doc said the baby as a little small so she scheduled us for another ultrasound (score!). Mike and I went today and everything looks good. The baby is in the 45th percentile for size, 6 pounds, which is good. And as the perinatologist said, small can be good (better than birthing a huge baby). Once again, she said that the baby was practicing breathing which is a good sign that she's not distressed. One thing I didn't do so well, though, is my fluids. She says I score a C for how much water I'm drinking. So I gotta keep hydrating. Hopefully it'll be a bit easier now that I'm back at home.

Here's a picture of the baby's face. It's a cute angle, with one of her eyes open, though it does look like she's wearing a Santa beard. Ho ho ho!
