No need to worry.

Today was hopefully the last ultrasound the doctors will take of me. It went well, as I scored a perfect 8 out of 8 on the biophysical part of the ultrasound. I practiced breathing twice, like I was supposed to, and was very active for the technician. Mommy thinks that the bagel she ate for breakfast helped matters some, and I'll let her think that. ;)

They estimated my birthweight to be around 6 lbs, 1 ounce this time around, which means that they're no longer worried about my size or the size of Mommy's belly. I'm just a shorty, is all, and that's fine with me and fine with Mommy. I just don't have the tall gene working to my advantage, anyhow.

I could come along any day now. I've been keeping Mommy guessing by causing her all kinds of cramps and things. And since she doesn't know what to expect, it makes it all the more fun for me. They did tell her that my head is very far down, though, which means that I'm ready to be born.

My head was so far down, in fact, that it was difficult for the ultrasound technician to get a good measurement of it. And the view that she got up my nose wasn't the best pose I'd ever taken for a picture.

But here's the pictures that she got. The first one is the one that shows up my nose, and the second is a fuzzy profile of me. The ultrasound technician said there was too much bone shadow and uterus in the way to get any clearer of a shot. Oh, she also said that it appears that I have a good sprig of hair, because Mommy mentioned how many people have told her that a lot of heartburn means that the baby has a lot of hair. Mommy didn't know you could tell that kind of stuff via ultrasound, but thought it was interesting nonetheless.
