38 weeks cooking #3

Yesterday was a little bit scary. I went for my normal weekly check in. The last three weeks I have measured 35 weeks with a measuring tape.  I measured 35 weeks once again, and my midwife became concerned with the size of the baby. She ordered an ultrasound, and as I waited I prepared my husband on the phone, letting him know they might start me today.

As soon as the ultrasound started, the technician asked me, "are we worried babies too big?" 

I let her know that the baby has been measuring small. 

She quieted my concern by telling me that the baby was actually measuring fairly large.

According to baby size, I would be measuring 40 weeks 4 days. knowing I go late I figure my due date will be pretty close to the actual date baby arrives. 

They told me there is a large margin of error this late in an ultrasound. They said that sizing can be up to 15 ounces off. But baby measured 9 lbs. 9 oz. according to the ultrasound. How they determine measurement is an average of head size, leg size, and torso I believe. Where are my kids have giant heads when born, I'm hoping baby really isn't 9 pounds. That the head is just throwing off measurements. But we will have to wait and see. 

I was relieved after the ultrasound, and I was happy I got to see the baby again. 

This is a close up of babies face. Up the nose shot. Probably the cutest I have seen. U can see the big lips and the pointy piggy nose that looks like Drakes. :)

This is a profile. You can kinda make out babies nose and lips. Kinda hard to see baby is locked down in my pelvic bone and squished.
