So on Monday we went for a scan to check on her size and growth!
Good news is She is definitely a GIRL!!
Also good news is she is perfectly healthy... growing well and in the right position...
She is also BIG... already weighs 3.2kgs.....
so expected birth weight is almost 4kgs... (oh help!!)
She is also swimming in plenty of fluid... I am actually carrying FAR more amniotic fluid than the average women at my stage....
So little brat is having a whale of a time in her own spa bath... with plenty of space to move... cause her mom is stretched like a pig...holding it all in!!
(So basically when my waters break.... it wont trickle... I will GUSH - big time)
Unfortunately we didn't get any good pics... as she was turned face down....
but we were told that it looks like she has lots of hair....
We also saw the obstetrician on Wednesday... and he basically said that he would prefer to let me pop naturally, but that if I hadn't popped by the 28th, he would induce me as he was worried about her getting to big for me to push after that!!
I now and reconsidering all the methods of pain relief Chad and I had learnt about and discussed... the birthing plan may yet change..... after all... no one gives you a medal or an award for pushing with no pain relief!
Anyway.... I have one more week at work.... and until I pop I will keep feeling like a beached whale....who is smuggling a bathtub full of water!!
Stay tuned as the next post should have pics of the nursery!!
