evolution of baby

we had our 36 week appointment today, which included a sonogram and check of the cervix. the sonogram was totally different from the last one (at 20 weeks) because we could only see one thing on the screen at a time, instead of her whole body! we saw a great shot of her face - it was really neat. and she has hair! we also saw her sucking on her hand. then when she moved it, we could see her lips moving and even saw her lick her lips! it was really neat!

so the big news is that she is a really BIG baby! she almost weighs 7 pounds already! she is supposed to keep gaining 1/2 a pound per week so if i do go full term (40 weeks) she would be huge! i am not dilated at all and everything looks on track besides how big she is! she is moving around constantly and has lowered into position. i am feeling a lot of pressure lower now that she has moved so we'll see how much longer she wants to cook!

here are all the sonograms we have had from the beginning. if you put your cursor over a picture it will show you the caption.
