30 weeks already?

I had my 30 week appointment on Monday. We had an ultrasound first, to check on the baby’s size, since they were concerned about me measuring weeks ahead last time. Turns out all is fine; the baby is measuring at a little over a week ahead, 4lbs 3oz estimate on her weight, in the 75th percentile. There’s no excess fluid or anything, either. After, my fundal height measured about the same as it was two weeks ago, so either last time the baby had just had a growth spurt, or the measurement was just wrong, or something. Anyway, nothing to worry about. Yay!

We didn’t get any really awesome pictures of her face, since she was being shy. She was head down, face down, so it was hard to see her face at all, and when the tech found it, she had her hand up there…and her foot! She was holding her foot right in front of her face. Silly girl.

They also did a quick check of the gender to assuage my concerns, and she still looks like a girl, so that’s good. And her head is a perfectly normal size, still. Shew. If she stays in her percentile and I don’t give birth until 40 weeks, she’s on track for being over 8lbs.

Everything else is going just fine. So, more ho hum and just waiting until my next appointment in 2 weeks!

We did visit a couple of day care centers finally, and found one we really like. We hope we get in; it’s convenient, and nice, and has lots of outdoor space, and is actually cheaper than the other place we looked. Fingers crossed!
