I went to the doctor for my 37 week appointment last Thursday. All is still looking good and still looks like her birthday will most likely be the 15th. We had an ultrasound and got a glimpse of our girl. Nick and I agreed that she seems to look like Kate as best we can tell. It was hard to get a very good look at her face and/or profile though since she is wedged up so high in my ribs. Measurements are also a little tougher to come by since she is breech but every head measurement that was taken came in at greater than 97th percentile. The other measurements (belly, leg, etc) weren't quite as big and the overall weight estimate was 7 lbs, 9 oz, but the ultrasound tech said that the estimates can be off as much as a pound. We (actually Nick) remembers them being off with Kate. We were thinking she was going to be a little bigger than she ended up being (7 lbs, 0.5 oz) but I do remember them telling us that it was really hard to measure her for the same reasons (head jammed in my ribs :)). We'll know for sure in just a few short days all of the little details about her. We are very excited, anxious (Nick) and just READY (me) for Emily to get here! We will have one last appointment this week and if there's anything to report I will be sure to post it. Otherwise look for an update next Monday after Miss Emily's arrival! Keep us in your prayers that things go smoothly! Here are a couple of ultrasound pics that we thought we'd share:
I know these can be really hard to make out but this is her face looking right at you. Looks like she has some chubby cheeks.
This is basically the same view as above, the tech just tried to back up a bit so that you saw more eye lid instead of eye socket. We were able to see her eyes moving around in one of the shots that we got though. Amazing!!
