Yesterday morning I went for a sonogram (probably my last one unless we decide to have another bambino) to check if baby was is in the head down position. Turns out this baby is a lot like its momma (prepares for big events early) because he/she is in fact head down and ready to go. From the sonogram Dr. Saprykina could tell that baby's back is on my left side and his/her legs and arms are on my right side. She also took many measurements of the baby and estimated his/her weight to be 5 pounds and 2 ounces so baby should definitely be ready to be born in three to four weeks. Baby's heartbeat was registering in the 130 beats per minute range which is a little slower than the last appointment.
Sorry - no sonogram pics this time though. It was actually pretty challenging to understand what I was seeing on the sonogram screen this appointment since baby is almost fully developed. Instead of looking at baby's entire body I was just able to view certain parts at a time. Dr. Saprykina was very helpful though, she would say things like "here is baby's leg" and "this is baby's arm" and then I was better able to picture what I was viewing.
It was great to see baby one more time before he/she arrives in 28 days.
