Yesterday, we really did have the last 3D/4D Ultrasound of our bonding package. We thought we were having it two weeks ago, but I had messed up and not actually told them to schedule it. So that ultrasound was a regular old ultrasound ordered by my OB. The one we had yesterday was the "high tech" version and was nice because it lasted about 30 or 40 minutes and was just for our benefit. They estimated he weighs around 4 lbs. now (a gain of about 1 lb. in 2 weeks!). He is actually measuring about 2 weeks ahead of schedule. Looks like he's going to be a big baby. My guess is he'll be around 9.5 lbs. Everything looks great ~ amniotic fluid, blood flow through the umbilical cord, his growth, etc. Oh, and the great news is that he is head down now! And I have to brag on myself because I didn't gain any weight over those 2 weeks... after gaining 10 lbs. in a 5-week period. He was super active the whole time. And once again he didn't really want to cooperate, as he kept putting his hands in front of his face. Here are two of the best photos out of the 17 photos we got. {If you want to see the rest of them, look over in the right-hand column of the blog and click on the link under "More Photos of Piperbean #2".} In the first one, you should be able to easily make out his face. That's his hand pulled up next to his cheek. The blurry area on the left-hand side of the photo is the placenta. He just stays so close to it, that it's hard to get a clear shot of him without it getting in the way. In the second photo, you should once again be able to make out his face. He is sort of smiling a little and he has his hand pulled up in front of his face, with his thumb actually touching his mouth. On the right-hand side of the photo, that's his foot. We kept wondering when he was going to stick a toe in his mouth because he would pull that foot up so close to his face.
