Ultrasound at 32 weeks

I had an Ultrasound today and found out that Phoenix is growing right on track. He weighs 4.7 pounds and is the 53rd percentile for weight. The Ultrasound tech said he looked like he had long legs, hee hee. No surprise there. She said that he was head down for right now. My cervix is fine, so they are not worried about it being too short, and I do not have Gestational Diabetes. After so many unanswered questions and possibilities, everything is pretty much as normal as can be. I do not want to have him get too big though. My tailbone pressure is starting to kick up even when I'm not sitting for too long, just when I'm standing or at the end of the day. I'm sure my recovery will be very close to what Marce's was, I just hope it's not worse. I still am hoping to have the baby late May but we'll see of course. My next appt. is in 2 weeks on the 21st. just a regular appt, but not long after that I'll be going every week! That's when you know you're getting down to it! They said I weighed 119, and that I didn't gain any weight this past week, but that that was ok because Phoenix did gain and grow...I weighed 124 when I had Marce so we'll see if I surpass myself on that.

She got some really cute pictures of Phoenix. He's got some pretty big features, nose, lips, cheeks! He has a really great scowl, it doesn't look like he's very happy, but he better be grateful he's being carried this whole time! I think he's got it pretty easy compared to me! She said she thinks he's really cute and takes great pictures. The Ultrasound lady knows me well now, I've been in so many times...Here are the photos. The 2nd & 3rd are my favorites.

Those are cool pictures! I'm so happy to hear that all the questions are now answered with the pregnancy. I can't believe you only weighed 124 when Marcelus was born. WOW, you're so petite! No wonder your tailbone hurts.

Aren't the 3d pics cool? I got one with Brayden when I was 36 weeks with him and it was kinda freaky when he was born... I had the strangest sense of deja vu... like I knew EXACTLY what he would look like already because of the pictures!
