The last ultrasound

Well we had three appointments today. The 1st was Carol's regular OB appointment this morning, which went well. Carol was happy to hear that she was released from bed rest, but I think she was enjoying sleeping in. Since she finished 36 weeks they said she was in the clear and if she went into labor they would let her go.
The second appointment was with the pediatric kidney Dr, to go over what they will do once our daughter is born. They will pretty much will just run a few tests a day or two after she is born to see how things are flowing. This will determine if she is having any reflux and determine if she needs to go on some antibiotics. Other than that they couldn't really say anything, as their patient isn't born yet.

The 3rd appointment was the final ultrasound before she is born. Everything is looking great and she has really grown. By the ultrasounds estimation our daughter weighs 7 lbs right now. Carol was a little freaked because she still has a month left, but due to the babies position and Carol's progression, Dr. Drake was pretty certain Carol would go early.

Here are a few pics from the ultrasound.

This one is different. It shows her hair!

Yay! I'm so glad the baby looks good and is already 7 lbs! The baby will be here soon and you two will be awesome parents! Just remember, those first few weeks can seem long and tiring but the baby doesn't stay tiny for very long.

I am having trouble seeing the hair, Dan :) I hope all goes well for you guys. Don't worry too much about what they told you about the weight. When we had our ultrasound about one month before Abby was born, they were way off! They told us she could actually be one pound heavier or one pound lighter. Carol, make sure you get lots over rest over the next several weeks. I will be anxious to get your call when this precious little girl is born! You guys are going to love being parents.
