Breech No More, Or, Holland’s 33 Week Ultrasound

Tuesday was my 33 week prenatal appointment, and, more excitingly, my ultrasound to see if Baby Got Breech. During the exam my doctor said he could feel by her position that she had flipped, but told me to go ahead and get my ultrasound anyway since they are fun. This is very true. I love my doctor. The tech did some measurements and checked on how she is doing in there. Holland is measuring at five pounds right now, and she is looking awfully smooshed. Moreso than she was at my 3D ultrasound back at 29 weeks. Also, she has hair! Just like me when I was a newborn. She was awake during the ultrasound, and kept sticking her tongue out. She even started sucking her thumb. Pretty cute. I scanned a couple of my ultrasound pictures. They are the least clear ones I have gotten, since she is getting so big, but they are still pretty cute.

Here is her chubby little profile. She has my forehead and nose, but I don’t know where those lips came from.

And her little legs. I love that she has her feet crossed. I also love that at my ultrasounds the techs always remark on how long her legs are.

So, no scheduled C-section for me…which means I will be waiting out the month of August until she decides to arrive. I have 7 weeks left until my due date, which seems like an incredibly long time. I am so miserable and achey and sick all the time. Extra-strength tylenol and pepcid AC are my saviors (two of each, every day!) I have been having contractions tonight, and part of me wishes that they were real, even though I know it’s too early. SOOOOOO tired of being pregnant. The end.
