A Big (Make That HUGE) Sigh Of Relief

Had my second scan today to measure my amniotic fluid levels. I am so happy to report that it could not have gone better. My amniotic fluid levels are now in the 86th percentile. Hooray! What a relief to officially rule out polyhydramnios. Yay!!!

Other details from the scan:
-Maya is measuring perfectly and normally
-She still has a round buddha belly
-She is low, but has not "dropped" yet
-She has lots and lots of hair
-She has a cute button nose (just like her daddy) and big pouty lips (just like me)
-The ultrasound technician and the sonographer kept saying how cute she looks
-Baby girl was active, squirming around, making it hard for the sonographer to get her pictures (cheeky little girl)
-She is a big baby: At 35w2d, she is estimated to weigh 6lbs 3oz!

I got some amazing pictures of her face from today's scan. Unfortunately, I can't post them because I don't have access to a scanner. It's really too bad because for the first time, I actually got to see what she looks like - so rare in a regular 2D ultrasound.

Baby girl I love you!!!

So glad that everything is turning out so well for you.

Maya is going to be such a joy. I bet you can't wait to meet her. I think you need to keep her in there and have her on my b'day Aug 20.

I am dying to know what my little bundle is.

Holy cow, you're almost there!!! Glad to hear your fluid levels are "more normal" now. Goodness, she is a big baby - but that's a good thing! Grow, baby, grow!
