31 weeks...

Today we got another glimpse of Trace and he is getting so big. He’s weighing 3lbs. 13oz., which is right on target. They measured nearly every bone in his body and pointed out all of his little parts. I got a little choked up when she said, “and there his fingers.” I’m not sure why, but I guess he just became even more real to me at that moment. They also took a few 4D images, which I think are so amazing, because you can begin to see what he looks like if you try really hard.

The first picture is of his face. (I know it’s fuzzy, but bare with me). There are two distinct bright spots on the picture. The top one is his forehead and below that is his really chubby cheek! To the right and center of the two bright spots is a dark spot. That is his eye socket, and just below that to the right is his nose. Below the fold of his cheek is his chin. He’s actually looking to the right, so just squint real hard and you can make out his face. :) Now, the long thing all the way to the right of the picture is his leg and foot coming up over his head. Not real sure how he's able to do that, but whatever...

If you're able to see what I described in the first picture, then let's see if you can go 2 for 2...
This next picture is of his leg. The bottom left corner is where is thigh begins and if you follow that upwards and then back down, that is his knee and then his calf and then his foot is pointing upwards. Now, if you're really good, you can see his little fingers placed on his knee. So cute...


The only other thing we learned today is that my amniotic fluid may be a little low. Because of this, I'll be going back next week to have it checked again, but the doctor said not to worry and just relax and drink plenty of fluids.

We have labor classes this weekend, so that should be lots of fun. Then next week we've got two doctor's appointments and we have a shower in Grand Isle on Saturday.
