Another week in utero...

Well, here we are at the end of another week for the diva
who (thankfully) remains in utero! And, here's a recap of
this week's ultrasonds:
Monday's 30 week growth scan:
despite her difficult-to-measure new position
which is a v-shape- head at 10, feet at 2, butt down, she measured
at 3lbs (we got differing readings between 3.0 - 3.3lbs).
We'll assume the low end of the scale, since she remains
at the 14th percentile. She was practicing sustained breathing
and opening and closing her eyes quite a bit. The hair on her
head is getting thicker/longer and we could see more fat deposits
in a bunch of places. (This is probably the only time she'll want
me to look at and compliment her fat deposits!) :)
Her total AFI (fluid) was over a 5.
Thursday's fluid check: Again, she was still in that v-shaped position
and continues to practice breathing and hiccuping. Her fluid looked
great at over a 5.7.
Bottom line: We're still here and holding amazingly stable!
Today is 31 weeks....21 days (or less) until we get to meet
this little diva! I can only pray for a healthy baby...and wise doctors
to care for her (and me!).

Enjoy the weekend!
