Head and legs are still a bit small (not overly worryingly so), but that could be for a whole host of reasons, including that he/she hasn't spent much time head down. All the organs look just fine, the brain does too, we're just going to have the itty-bitty baby my doc thought we'd have this time. Neither me or Sam for that matter were over 7 lbs so its probably another case of the crazy percentiles striking again. (Altogether baby is in the 32% which is totally fine.) His/her heart rate was 135 which is great, and estimated weight was 2 lb 13 oz, also pretty good.
This little one was surprisingly still at first, usually he/she is all over the place. Case in point: about 2 weeks ago he/she flipped head down, and has since then flipped spots about every other day. Over the weekend he/she felt like transverse (where he/she spent most of the past several weeks) was comfy, then he/she went head down again for our checkup, transverse again and last night he/she went breech and now the head is up in my tummy. I have more room than the baby is using in there right now and he/she seems to be quite happy making the most of it.
When this little one is awake he/she makes some very rapid movements, all the time. He/she likes to keep hands and feet all together for the most part, unless he/she's trying to flip and then I feel these long, hard, stretching, swiping movements in places. For some reason it reminds me of when Caspian gets stuck under the bed and has to scrape around to try and get out. During the scan he/she never stopped moving his/her mouth and sticking his/her tongue in and out. Silly baby, it was fun and funny to watch.
Here are some of the clearer pictures we got.
And as you can probably tell from all the he/she, his/her foolishness the gender is still a secret from Dada...I can't believe I've made it 10 weeks without slipping up!
