I had another ultrasound last week (at 34 weeks). I'm a little worried because she said the baby weighed 6 lbs 3 oz already and was measuring over 36 weeks! Yikes! I know the last few weeks are mostly for the baby to be packing on the pounds, but with her already being 6 lbs, I'm a bit worried! Thankfully, the doctor said I would have another ultrasound at 38 weeks to see how big she is so we can discuss induction possibilities. Not that I want to be induced, because induction isn't that fun, but I would much rather be able to deliver a big kid than have a gigantic kid be stuck. Not to mention the fact that my older two girls have extremely large heads. Ouch!
All you single folk, I recommend asking your significant other if he has a large head before marrying him. It's not something you would normally think to consider in choosing a spouse, but it could definitely make child bearing easier.
Just kidding! I love you Dave ... and your large cranium.
The baby is sucking on her big toe in these pictures! You could see her mouth making the sucking motions on screen. And, we also watched her practice breathing. Evidently, this is something babies do in the womb.

Congratulations guys! How come you get so many ultrasounds? Lucky girl. Hang in there for those last few weeks. When is your due date again? Do you have any names picked out? Good luck!
Love Anita
I'm due June 13th. At my 20 week ultrasound, my placenta was super low, so they keep checking to make sure it moved up. It has and at this ultrasound, she said it's not even a concern anymore because it's as high as it could be. But I still get one more at 38 weeks to make sure the baby isn't getting too big. I love having so many ultrasounds. It's my favorite!
