30 Days to Go!!

Heather and Alex, happy parents-to-be.

These are ultrasound photos taken on 1/11/07.









Today's ultrasound showed baby Andrew in the best position, waiting to be born (head down, facing my back).
Because he's nestled so low, we can't see his face anymore.
Last week he did show his face briefly but had his little arm across it most of the time (blocking out the light, trying to nap?)

To estimate his weight, his femur length, belly and head circumference are measured.
Two weeks ago he was 5lb 9oz; today he is at 6lb 10oz!
Babies usually gain 1/2lb a week at this point.
With 4 weeks to go, are we looking at an almost 9 pounder?!!
Alex and I have a bet...I think under 9, he thinks over- it might be close!

Today the ultrasound computer showed an estimated due date of 7/7/07.
That lucky date, of course, is what I'm aiming for.
His due date from the 11-week-old ultrasound is still considered most accurate, which is 7/15. Great-Grandma Bucelwicz's birthday is 7/6, who knows when he'll arrive!!
