We had our last ultrasound today and our last glimpse of Jonah before he arrives. He is head down and they estimated his weight to be a whopping 5 lbs! We still have 6 weeks to go! Although the nurse practitioner and I both agreed that we just need to get past the next week or two and he'll be ready. At that point he wouldn't be admitted to the NICU unless he needed oxygen. The ultrasound confirmed that we do indeed have a boy and from what we saw of his face, I think he's awfully cute. I said he is head down but he is also feet down if you can imagine that. We couldn't get a clear picture of his face because his feet are in his face. To help you visualize, his feet are 2.5 inches long. They said his leg bones are also long so I think he's going to be built like Matt. After the appointment we went and bought my breast pump. I'm going to finish packing my bag tonight and hopefully Matt will get the crib set up sometime in the next couple of weeks.
The nurse practitioner said I definitely had to stop flying at 35 weeks so I only have 6 more days for transport. I'm on call the next 2 days so I could potentially still go on a few more. I've been lucky to be able to go on a couple lately and they've gone smoothly. Although it is getting very cramped in the helicopter. They asked if I had been taking it easy and putting my feet up at work and I laughed. I was charge for the first time on Monday and it was a busy, busy day. I think a couple more days like that and I'll be heading upstairs to deliver. Enjoy the pictures!
