More Pictures of Baby Wallbrecht

I had another ultrasound on Monday! It was done just to check the babies growth (the dr. says since I'm so anemic they want to make sure he grows enough). I always love the ultrasounds, and this time it was so fun to be able to see him and feel him moving at the same time! He was measuring right on, average for his age of 29 weeks. The estimated him to weigh 2lbs 14oz. He was mostly sleeping, but we could see him moving his lips like he was sucking on his tongue or something. We also discovered he is sitting breech right now! I sure hope he makes his way head down soon!! I know he has time still. I'm so paranoid about everything that I already looked up natural ways to get breech babies to turn. :) Hopefully I won't have to do any of them. I have another growth ultrasound in a month so we'll see if he cooperates by then. Here are the pictures they printed for me. The ultrasound tech was so nice and even gave me two 3D pictures without even asking for them! I think he looks quite cute, but then again I know I'm biased.






Do you think he looks like his mommy and daddy?


He kept his hand up by his face the whole time. (Yes that's his hand even though it looks like a foot). I wonder if he's started sucking his thumb or fingers yet.

Mommies are allowed to be biased! I think that we all love our babies no mattter what they look like. They're always cute to us. And it's good to know that he's growing well. I don't know why I always worry about that, considering all of my babies have been over 8 lbs. But he still has a lot of time to turn on his own, so hopefully he'll get with it.

And yes, the weather in Ohio would fluxuate so easily. Raining all day, for a few days. Or just sunny and breezy.

It's so fun getting ultrasounds and getting reassurance that everything is going okay. Glad it's going well.

Oh Melanie! He IS so cute already. I can't wait for him to be here so I can meet him, and hold and squeeze him :-)

Those are great pictures (even though he had his hand by his face). It was cute, like he was being shy :-P
