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.

A Waiting Game

I am now over 37 weeks pregnant. Canaan and I are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our baby girl. I am off bed rest now because I am considered full term, and whenever our little Juliette (unless when I see her I decide she's an Autumn) decides it's time to come is okay.

I've decided that I want to keep a blog to record and share this exciting new time in our life. It will allow family and friends to see what's happening and create memories for Canaan & me. I am a little concerned that I won't be able to keep up with a blog, but I'll give it a go. (Photo: 36 weeks)
