29 week appt!

Things are looking good still with baby. We had our second attempt at a 3D ultrasound today, but baby boy is still not cooperating, so we have given up. The ultrasound tech managed to get two decent pictures, but we were not charged because she didn't feel that we got enough to be charged for. She will keep watching him at all the ultrasounds and see if she can get any decent ones, but the chances get slimmer the further along I get because he will just keep getting bigger and burying his face more in the placenta.

Health wise he is doing great, his head is still measuring 3 weeks big, and technically he is measuring about a week ahead, but he is only in the 55% for his gestational age, so he's really not too big. Doctor said he will probably be around Natalie's size maybe a bit smaller as he will be delivered a week early. He was moving around great today and his heart rate was 155 bpm. Still a bit lazy on the practice breathing, but he did it today without being "buzzed" so thats great. They said often times they don't catch the practice breathing on the ultrasounds so not to be too worried about it.

I am hoping to get a preliminary c-section date on the calendar in the next few days, Dr. Boyd said his nurse will be calling me to set something up. I am thinking it will probably be Tuesday, Sept 2 - unless of course he doesn't do surgeries those days...

Anyway, here are pictures from today's ultrasound...





And for comparison's sake... here is a 3D of Natalie...
