Today my wife, who is in her 38th week, had her OB appointment. The OB could not tell for certain the location of our baby's head in the womb. If the one bulge was a head and not a buttock, then it meant the baby would have to rotate. So she ordered an ultrasound to make sure.
It turns out our little one's head is simply off to the side a little, so the shoulder is down where the head needs to be. Nothing worrisome, just needs some encouragement to go head first.
But the best part is that we got to see our baby on St. Valentine's Day! How rare to see an ultrasound at 38 weeks, and how rarely do pictures of a baby so far along turn out so well:
Can you tell the face in this second one, which is a 3D scan? There's a little nose and mouth :)
The best part was our toddler's reaction when she saw the video: "It's a BAby!!" We were able to show her the baby we've been talking about for months now, and she was so excited.
We can't wait for our little one to be born. Happy Valentine's Day!
