Ultrasound

I had my ultrasound on Tuesday. Everything is good. Well, except for the fact that I'm really not that far ahead so I still have like 4-5 weeks. I was secretly hoping that somehow I'd be able to say that I only have like 2 weeks left. But, that's ok. 

Everything measured fine. They said she weighed 5 lbs 8 oz, which is right on for how far along I was. Her head was really low and they had a hard time getting a measurement. They had to wait until she moved a little. She had a good heartbeat and we could even see her chest moving up and down a little, 'breathing'. They said the reason I'm measuring big is because of extra fluid. Not anything to be worried about. They really don't know why sometimes that happens, but everything is fine. They asked if she moved around a lot and I said "Yeah, at certain times. But she's kind of a rollie-pollie more than a kicker or puncher." Then they said that made sense because of how much fluid I had. She's just in her own little swimming pool rolling around.

At the very end, we got some pictures of her face. This made me way excited because at my last ultrasound, she wouldn't turn around so we only saw the back of her head. She was being really funny. She'd open her mouth, then stick out her tongue, then made a pouty face, then she smiled a little. I loved it. She's got a chin dimple like me, and big cheeks. Also like me. :) Check it out...

Pouty face.

Just a cute face.

So Tuesday is my next doctor's appointment. I'm thinking they'll check me and maybe (cross my fingers) I'll have started a little? Maybe? Just a little? I can only hope... I just feel so massive and uncomfortable...
