Our Baby @ 36 Weeks

I didn't even know they could do this with ultra sound. My sister-in-law filled us in that this is what they call a 3D ultrasound, and that insurance doesn't cover it. They didn't even ask us before they switched over. I could complain, but it was really cool to get this first look at baby. The images are a little watery looking because they were taken through the moving and gurgling amniotic fluid in Karen's belly, but Wow! who knew they could take such clear images of the baby while it is still in the womb! The baby is 5lbs 11oz., and is in the 25% of the growth chart, which still in the normal range. The ultrasound tech said the baby is about five days behind it's growth chart for the due date, but when they checked Karen her body is already starting to open the gates. It could still be a couple of weeks, but we think the baby will come sooner than later.
