Yesterday we went for our 35 week appointment. The Nurse Practitioner checked me for strep, checked to see if I had started to dilate (not yet), and checked to see if he was head down. She could actually feel his head before she even did the ultrasound; however, she was not able to tell if he had hair or not.
I was really excited to have another ultrasound done - another chance to see my little guy? Fun! Unfortunately, at 35 weeks, you do not get very good pictures. He is now too big and squishy to really see much. Instead of seeing his whole body on the screen, we saw one foot. We were able to see him breathing, waving, kicking, blinking, and swallowing. The NP was very pleased with what she saw, and although she was not able to tell me anything about his size, she assured me I would not be giving birth to the whale I've been preparing for.
The next appointment is in two weeks, and then we start going every week. In case anyone is keeping track, my due date is one month from yesterday! The countdown is on...
