"Triple Play" #1

I went to Met today for Bud's non-stress test/ultrasound/biophysical profile. Everything looks fine. They called my doctor with the results, and she said I won't have to go back for another few weeks (yay!).

It was like deja-vu, being back there again. It was even the same two nurses in the Maternal Care Clinic, and they remembered me from 2 years ago! I guess it was because I was in there every week for about the last 10 weeks of my pregnancy, with Andrea. Also, the OB triage nurse's name is Andrea--and she remembered we had a little girl whom we also named Andrea. I told them there wouldn't be any Mary's or Lauretta's this time, because we know it's a boy! :)) I also think they were kind of disappointed when they found out I wasn't going to be a weekly visitor this time. They kept saying things like, "What, don't you want to spend time with us?" and "Did you tell Dr.P. you didn't want come here every week?" :))

Just thought I'd mention that Bud is measuring 3 pounds, 4 oz. already! He's going to be a big boy! You can see his chubby cheeks in the ultrasound image. Then again, they told me Andrea was pushing 9 pounds at the time of delivery, and she turned out to be a comfortable 7 lbs. 12 ozs.

Bud's picture was a bit blurry this time, because of his position, and he was moving a lot. (He did NOT like it when the tech was pushing on him with the probe!) Right now, he's feet down, and curled up on my left side. That would explain why I always feel the movements on my left side--and the dancing on my bladder!

So, here's two side profiles of Bud--pretty much the exact same pose in both pictures--with his feet up near his face (he likes to curl up and snuggle in, which drives the techs crazy!).
