Baby girl Pistorius at 33 weeks

 

We had an ultrasound today at 33 weeks along to make sure the baby is not getting too big like Drake did. The baby is measuring a week ahead of schedule but the doctor was not concerned that she should be too big by my due date. The baby is 5lbs 6oz right now and will most likely gain a half a pound each week until the due date. With seven weeks left, this would make the baby about 9 lbs by then but I guess that is not worrying the dr. any. The baby's head is still down which is good and her heartbeat was strong at 143. She actually has a lot of hair and we could see it in the first picture but also she looked at the top of the head and we could see a lot there too. The technician also confirmed for a second time that it is a girl! I've never had an ultrasound at this point in a pregnancy and it was really neat to see. Her hands were even more formed and she rubbed her eye at one point, even opening them too. The technician then showed us the baby in 3-D and took a picture of her face. The placenta is on the left side while her hands were off to the right of this picture below. With all of this information, I still have no idea when she'll be here but it's good to see that she is doing well!
