We get one last ultrasound! For the last 3 months, we have been wanting to get another ultrasound - despite the fact that there really was no reason to get one. considered buying our own machine (not really once we found out the price), so we could peer in on hm whenever we wanted. Our doctor kept telling us that that they only order those when there is something that might be wrong. But we were just dying to see him!!! :)
To our surprise, when we went in for a routine checkup yesterday, the doctor covering for our regular obgyn, decided that i was a little small looking for 38 weeks and told us we should get an ultrasound to get an estimated fetal birth weight. what a nice late christmas present!
So we have an appointment for this afternoon at 2pm to sneak one last peek at the little alien junior growing in my tummy before he makes his grand entry into the world. exciting.... :)
p.s. hmmmm... definitely not as exciting to get an ultrasound at 38 weeks. the baby is so cramped in there, that you can only get partial views of his profile and tummy. everything else is pretty much just a blob. he can barely move around. so if you want to see him, make sure you get it in before 30 weeks - when he can still swim around in your belly like a little tadpole.
we also had to wait in the radiology waiting room for an hour despite being on time to our appointment. so it was a double whammy, wait one hour, with nothing exciting to see at the end. boo hoo...
