Now that was a growth scan!

So, last week at our midwife appointment, we discovered that my fundal height did not seem to be progressing at a normal rate. That is, it hadn't budged in three visits. Stephen and I were mildly concerned but soon didn't think much of it as we were reassured that it was fine. Then we got a call from one of the midwives saying we needed to go in for a growth scan (ultrasound) to make sure the babe was growing alright. She again reiterated that she didn't think it was anything to worry about - that it was strictly precautionary.

Well, we worried. And today I had the growth scan. Clearly, nothing to worry about. Turklet is measuring just fine and is estimated to be 6 lbs. 2 oz. That's right, folks, a full pound over the average weight at 35 weeks. [insert about to give birth to what could be a 9-lb baby nervous giggles here]

We also got some cool pictures. Well, a cool picture of the foot and what looks like the Shroud of Turin rather than turklets first mug shot:

Things are clearly getting cramped in there as it looked like someone was squeezing the poor thing's cheeks together the whole time. Big baby + small pregnant belly = cramped quarters for shizzle!
