Declan is breech! I totally didn't see that coming! I was thinking transverse or head-down considering all the movements at the top of my uterus. But nope, he's all curled up at the top of my uterus, with his arms and legs up over his head. So I was right about feeling both arms and legs up there, just not right about his position. The tech said that for most women, they like the babies to turn by 34 weeks, but with me being small and my babies being larger, she hopes that he turns between 30-32 weeks or so. So that gives him a month to get his act together and turn. I will be honest, a c-section scares me to death. I DON'T want one and will try everything I can to help him turn. Luckily I'm getting another ultrasound in two weeks since this baby didn't cooperate and give us some good face time, so hopefully he'll be turned by then. The tech even had me turned onto my side trying to make him move a bit, but it was a no-go. He's like his sister and stubborn!
At 12 weeks Dec was measuring about a week later. I was right on the verge of getting my due date changed, but since my doctor said I was still within a week, he'd keep it the same. At 19w 4d he was measuring in at 19w even. Now at 27w 3d he is measuring 27 weeks even. So he's gained another day and is now only 3 days behind. :) He's also weighing in at 2lbs 7oz! So a nice size weight. I looked online and 2.5lbs is more on par with a 29 weeker and if he follows the half a pound a week gain that most babies do during the 3rd trimester, I'm looking at another 8.5-9lb baby! Wow!
He is still DEFINITELY a he! We have a couple 4d pics of the "goods" and it's hilarious to look at! The tech said that if someone says "well, sometimes they are wrong" to pull those pictures out because it is OBVIOUS! Lol! That makes me feel confident in going ahead with selling the rest of Emma's clothes, even though it's so bitter sweet and makes me miss my sweet, cuddly baby girl. Last night she was in the bathroom and I stopped to see what she was doing and she said "why are you looking at me?" Oooh, boy. I am in for it when she's 16!
Here's one of the few pics I got from today. Isn't that pouty upper lip just the sweetest?
you can see his umbilical cord going across his face. She assured me that was fine, even though I didn't give it a second thought. She said some mom's have a little freak-out when the cord is anywhere near the face/neck, but it's almost impossible for it NOT to be.
In non-baby related news, Em has her first T-Ball game in about 1.5 weeks! It's going to be the funniest/cutest thing ever to watch. Then a few days after that she has kindergarten registration! Someone hold me! That's going to be a busy day all around, since she has registration that morning, my ob appointment at 2 and then attempt #2 at the 4d scan right after that. Whew! April is flying by!
