32 Week Ultrasound!

We are 32 weeks and counting! Yay! On Friday we had our 32 week ultrasound and our little munchkin is actually a very large munchkin. She is just under 5 pounds which puts her in the 87th percentile for weight (compared to other OC babies) and her head size and overall length were both above the 90th percentile, CRAZY! The doctor and ultrasound technician are estimating her birth weight at over 9 pounds assuming she makes it to term. This should be interesting! It's just so funny because everyone was so worried about our little baby because I'm a picky eater but her weight is definitely not an issue.

The really good news is that my placenta has moved up significantly above the cervix so we are planning for a vaginal birth now (assuming there are no complications). Good job pushing it up Ella! My doctor also told us that most women have larger babies with subsequent pregnancies so I may be in trouble if we have multiple children.

Last week we had our breastfeeding class which was much more informative that I expected. I know it seems kind of obvious what to do but there are numerous sucking techniques and holding positions to make the experience more enjoyable for the mom and baby. According to our teacher, breastfeeding is only painful if the baby is sucking incorrectly. I don't know how many women agree with this. We were supposed to have our baby care class on Friday but it was overbooked so we got pushed back a couple of weeks. I'm really excited for that one too! It worked out well because we got to meet Noah & Nikki for dinner at Rusty Pelican, my favorite. I seriously eat an entire loaf of butter garlic bread drenched in oil & vinegar every time we go. Maybe that explains my oversized fetus :)
