Lil' Babe

A quick update on Lil' Babe. We are 32 weeks along and just under two more months to go. Seems like the pregnancy is going by quickly, but not sure if this will be the longest 2 months of my life as she gets bigger and heavier to carry around. :)

For the last couple months, she has been positioned with her head down, in the farthest "corner" of my uterus on the right side. Her head is practically buried into my hip - that's how low she is. Her feet are at the top of my uterus and I can rub her little foot as she squirms around. I never really thought about this until yesterday, but I think she is much lower than Evan was. Sitting can sometimes be uncomfortable because she is right there in my lap and putting socks on has never been so difficult. With Evan, I think I had heartburn around this time because he was so high. They both have/had gentle movements, though. My kids - so sweet!


We have been going to Siemens to get ultrasound pictures and she continues to be camera-shy. Her face is pressed against the front and she continues to cover her face with one or both hands. So we have been unsuccessful in getting some clear shots of her face. We go back to Obstetrix in a couple weeks to check growth, so maybe they will have more luck. No Dr. Case, though. :( He is booked up, so we'll be seeing another doctor, Dr. Wall - I saw him once with Evan, and he's also extremely nice.

Here's a pic of Lil' Babe from last week. This is a shot of her profile. The top of her head is on the right, her chin is on the left and she is looking up. You can make out her nose and lips.



Here's a video clip of Lil' Babe's heart. Amazing! You can make out the four chambers pumping.
