We went to the OB today for an ultrasound. As it turns out, Bambino is not as big as expected. She's healthy and at a good weight, however. The ultrasound estimated her to be 6 lbs, 7 ounces, with an expected birth weight of just over 7 pounds. She's at around the 35th percentile for her gestational age, which is good (they like 35-65). She does have long legs though, which explains a lot!
Bambino is still head-down facing to my left. Her head is right up against my bladder (no kidding!), and not any closer to getting ready for delivery than she was last week. Her spine is on my right side and her hands close to her head. She appeared to be sucking her thumb or hand at one point. My belly is the most hard at the top, about 2-3 inches above my belly button, and we found the reason. There, on my right side is her bottom and on my left side are her legs, with her two feet pressed up against my belly. So that's what was sticking out at 3am last night!!
Dr. V says that we'll definitely be seeing her next week, and then hopefully the baby will have made some progress by then. That's fine with me! I made a deal with Bambino that involves no birth until at least May 1st. :)
