38 Weeks

I had my 38 week appointment today. It lead to my fifth ultrasound, but I can't say I minded having another opportunity to see my little girl. I still remember feeling disappointed at my 18 week ultrasound when the doctor told me that most likely that would be my last ultrasound...

The doctor wanted to check my fluid levels because I am measuring small again. Juliette (that's the name I'll use for now) is measuring about a week small, but she is measuring that way all over (not just her head or stomach), so it's not concerning. Fluid levels looked good, and the ultrasound estimates her to be about 6 pounds 9 ounces. Unfortunately, Juliette kept hiding her face with her hand, so I couldn't get a good look at her. Here's a picture of Juliette's face at our 34 week ultrasound. She actually let us see her during this ultrasound.
