Update

Well, yesterday I had what will possibly be my last ultrasound this pregnancy. Just as a reminder, I had to go back for this one because my baby has been measuring big, and they are a touch concerned as Armour was 2 1/2 weeks early and just shy of 9 pounds. So yesterday's ultrasound was to check size, this one place her size at a due date of May 11th, the earliest date yet, but not much earlier than the last one. So they think baby is on a normal growth curve, still due May 25 (or something like that), and just a big baby. So, plan of action now? Just let baby grow and come when she comes. My doctor says that if my belly is measuring really big in like 4-6 weeks (when I am 34-36 weeks along), he will have another ultrasound, and we may need to at that point do an amniocentesis to see if baby's lungs are developed enough to deliver and induce then. Without an amniocentesis, he won't induce me until 39 weeks period. And neither he nor I want to do the amnio thing (really, I won't do that), so it looks like this baby won't be coming Early unless she does it on her own. This is very sad for me as I was hoping to have her around May 10 so that I would be able to have her, get everything all set to move, and have my 6 week check up before we move.

(as a complete side note and to throw in my most recent embarrassing moment...probably 2 months ago I was at a playgroup or a book club-I cannot remember which-and I was explaining this to the women there and I said "I just really want to have my sex-week appointment before we have to move." I hoped that Freudian slip might just pass by, but no, everyone in the room noticed, took note and kinda teased me about it...nice...)

Anyway, that is the baby update. I am still hoping that my little body and my little baby will go into labor early and make the timing of this birth with this move a bit easier!!! Here's to hoping...Oh BTW, the one good thing about getting more ultrasounds is that we get new pics of baby. We spent about 10 minutes trying to get a good 3-d pic of baby's face, but, as usual her arm/hand were up in the way. Here is what we got:
