Today is my last ultrasound ***UPDATE***
I can't wait! This is my fav dr. appt ever bc i get to see my son and i just have to lay there while they rub my belly. so easy. i swear after all those RE appts getting probed with the vaginal ultrasounds i was so happy to finally get over the belly ones. lol. silly but i had always dreamed of getting them, for years. anyway today is my last one. been getting them monthly since 14 wks or so to make sure he's growing properly. and he has been perfect. :) and today is my last one!! i'm soooo excited to see him and how big he's gotten. kind of sad that this is my last one though. i'm gonna miss being pregnant and miss having him in there. but the cool thing is, next time i see him it will be from the outside :)
i'll be posting the pic after my appt.
UPDATE**
well it turns out he's too big (possibly too cool?) to come out in the ultrasound. we could only see bits and pieces and they were too hard to make out. womp womp :( but good news is he's head down, facing back, perfect position for labor. BUT he's already 7.5lbs!!! and i still have 3 weeks to go! oy vey. should i be worried? lol. he's measuring perfectly, perfect heartrate, perfect position, all around doing everything he's supposed to be doing. still the weight makes me nervous. i was hoping to have a little baby. lol. i mean, natural waterbirth....come on...lol. i just wanna be able to deliver as planned. like i don't want his weight to be the reason i can't have the natural birth. another thing that worries me is that i hear ultrasounds can be 2lbs off higher or lower.
Hi MelT,
First off I am sooooo happy for you and I prayed for you all the time! I know that we started our journey almost the same time even though yours had some heart breaking bumps along the way. I always came back to this board to check in on you so call me a stalker but what ever. 
I know we all have our perfect birth story planned out in our heads but most moms will tell you that it usually gets tossed out the window pretty early into delivery. I was no different, I wanted a natural un-medicated birth for my 1st but all my best laid out plans came crashing down when my water broke 5wks early. I had to be put on pitocin and stuck in bed, I wasn't dilating and his heart rate kept dropping with every contraction. I tried desperately for 9hrs to get my body to do something but needless to say I ended up with an emergency c-sec. It most definitely was not the way I had planned it but as I look back nearly 6 years later I don't think bitterly about all the things that went wrong but cherish every little detail about his special all-be-it crazy arrival. Your baby will be like a little brain fart drug, as soon as you see him and touch his sweet little body all the tears, frustration and anxiety that is labor will melt away! All the best wishes MeliT.
aww thats sweet thank you for thinking of me :)
i know. i know that things could change at any second and to be prepared for any outcome. my midwives have told me what the possible outcomes would be and i'm ok with that. but since everything has been going so well i hope that they will continue that way.
