We wanted to take another look at what Poppy was up to in there....So our very thoughtful friend and neighbor, Gary came over tonight and did another ultrasound! Once again, AMAZING! As I said, this little thing has been active as ever this week and we got to see first hand what it was up to. Just hit the play button above and you'll be able to see what appears to be Poppy sucking "it's" thumb! It's one thing to feel various movements throughout the day, but then you get to physically see what's going on in there and it just blows your mind!
Gary said everything looked "textbook." The head is still in a great position...down toward my pelvis. Poppy has moved since our last ultrasound, 3 1/2 weeks ago...It's head is now on the right side of my pelvis and it's spine wraps around the left side of my abdomen. Gary proved me right tonight and showed Joe how it's little butt and legs constantly creep under my ribs!
Gary did more measurements...and it looks like there were some inaccurate measurements last time. The head is now right on, measuring 36 weeks, 3 days. All other measurements (abdominal circumference and femur length) show about 35-36 weeks. It's weighing in at approximately 6 lbs. so we're probably looking at an 8+ lb. baby! According to my LMP, our due date is March 14. After all measurements were entered, the report showed the due date was March 26. Joe & I think it's arriving on March 20th, the first day of spring!
It's reassuring to know that things look so great and Poppy appears to be so healthy! Just another month or so and we'll be holding the little one in our arms! Can't wait! -Monica
