We had our last sonogram today!! The baby is 2 pounds 14 ounces today and my placenta has grown up and out of the way!!!!!!!!!!!! Which means we are a go for the home birth we wanted!! We are SO excited!! The sonogram expert said "You are so healthy - there's no reason for you to be here!" :) Little did he know that I was planning a home birth...
Joyce Nelson will be our midwife and her assistant Robin will join her for the delivery. I'll have my first "official" appointment with her on April 10th at 10am. Where she'll listen to the baby's heartbeat and measure my tummy. The doctor who measured my stomach today said that he thought our baby was going to be between 8-9 pounds - but I can't say I have much if any confidence in him. Our sonogram tech estimated a normal size baby; probably around 7 pounds...so we'll just have to see. I feel like it's going to be a big baby though. I can't believe he/she is already 2 pounds 14 ounces!! We didn't get very good sonogram pictures; they said it's because the baby has reached a size that is difficult to show on the monitors. The pictures we got just look like blobs and you can't really pick out the different limbs or anything. I'm glad we counted toes and figures last time! :)
I also took the glucose test this morning...which involved taking more of my blood - but we'll get the results back on Monday.
The baby was really active last night, but she/he wasn't the one who woke me up at 1am...it was Daisy! She had to go potty...then I had to go potty and I was hungry...so after a bowl of cheerios I was UP. I ended up falling back asleep around 3:30am and had to get up at 7am for my doctors appointments. Needless to say, I'm a little tired today. It makes no sense to me that my body is "preparing me for lack of sleep" with lack of sleep...NO SENSE AT ALL! That's just crazy talk! I did however get a chance to do some research online regarding diaper choice. I'm really leaning towards doing cloth diapers - the easy ones that are all in one piece and grow with the child. The bumGenius 3.0 diapers seem to be getting the best ratings from moms.
I found some great patterns for baby bonnets, sweaters and booties online and would really like to crochet some...though the patterns all seem to be written in a foreign language and I'm still having trouble desyfering it. I'm almost done with the boys blanket; so I'll put more time into the booties and bonnets after I've completed that.
