Today we had our 36 week (and 2 days) appointment. This was an exciting appointment because we were getting another ultrasound. Our doctor's office only administers two ultrasounds in normal pregnancies, one at 20 weeks and one at 36 weeks.
This ultrasound was much different from our first one. In the first one the doctor was checking every inch of babies body for development and growth. At this ultrasound the doctor was determining the size/weight and positioning of the baby. They also tried to get a good image of her face with the 4-d ultrasound.
Baby is positioned with her head already down (and ready to come out!). Because of the position of her head, the technician couldn't get the best shot of her face. However, if you look our darling baby girl is sticking her tongue out at us. She's going to be a little trouble maker, just like her parents!
The doctor also determined that the baby is already 7 pounds! I guess for anyone thinking I was having a small baby, you're wrong. Although she is already 7lbs., the doctor said she doesn't think she'll go much past 8 lbs.
Everything is looking great with baby and with mom :). I'm 1 centimeter dilated, so I guess my body is getting prepared for the hard work ahead! We are both getting very excited....it's getting close.

Yay for big babies!
I wouldn't say troublemakers like her parents - more like fun loving!
The little tongue sticking out means she is telling you I will come out when I am ready.
She already looks like her Dad. Although, since I haven't seen him stick his tongue out yet, I hold that view provisionally.
