Our prenatal visit with Vicki and consultation with Dr. Maher (a high-risk delivery specialist) went very well! My iron levels, glucose test, and weight are all fabulous and the baby is great. I am officially okay-ed to deliver as a VBAC at Mama’s Cradle Birth Center! Hooray!! (Provided that I don’t suddenly gain an enormous amount of weight, become hypertensive, or start true labor before 37 weeks.)
Ultrasound #2 showed conclusively that while the placenta is low, it is NOT on my scar. Phew! It was worth bothering little Baby Number Two with the distress of an ultrasound to get that piece of information confirmed. From a voyueristic perspective, it was also fun to see her jumping around — playing with her toes and even putting her toes in her mouth! (See pictures below.) Her current weight estimate is 4 lbs (a little above the median at 30 weeks) and her foot measured 2 1/2 inches in length.

Absolutely Amazing…

I must admit, watching her in there playing with her toes was just about the coolest thing. And it certainly explains the gymnastics I feel her doing all hours of the day! Someone actually noticed my stomache moving from across the table during a meeting this afternoon… and things aren’t even really tight in there yet. If this is any indication of what will happen post-natally, co-sleeping may not be an option. (Or we’ll definitely be needing a bigger bed.)

It is definitely a sign of the personality-to-come. You’d better rest up now!

Yikes! I have been speculating on that. In my memory, Will was not this active and certainly did not roll around the way that she is. (Then again, by virtue of his position, many of his kicks would have been internal.) Considering how much of a wild man Will is now, I can hardly comprehend a child with more energy.
