Bryan and I had another ultrasound done yesterday. Apparently there is a larger than average amount of fluid in with the baby, and so they want to monitor it and make sure it stays stable and doesn’t increase. The amount of fluid is within the normal range, but it’s on the higher end of normal. It doesn’t pose any risks to the baby while she’s in there, so there’s no need for induction or anything like that.
I’m not really near a “risky” or highly concerning level, just something to monitor. It doesn’t indicate any problems or anything at this level, apparently it’s just one of those things that happens sometimes.
Anyway, getting this ultrasound was pretty amazing because the ultrasound technician got some great close-ups of Madison’s face! It’s still hard to tell much since she’s kind of squished looking, and her arm and other stuff kind of got in the way of her face, but still pretty amazing to see her so clearly at this point!
So who do you think she looks like?!

Hahaha this is great! It really will be interesting to see what she looks like and who she resembles. 🙂 Nice job putting this little collage together.

Thanks 🙂 I thought it was pretty fun looking back at our baby pictures to see if I could see any resemblance with the ultrasound photos… hard to tell 🙂

Haha, thanks Ajith! At first Bryan and I thought her nose looked just like his, but then when I looked at my baby pictures, I thought maybe it could look like mine, too! It will be so interesting to see how she really looks in person compared to these pictures!!

I would say she looks more like the topless picture of you! It’s amazing how much detail you can see! Any indication of her weight now? Are you experiencing any pains yet?

I agree her face definitely seems to resemble mine a lot in that picture but I can see resemblances to Bryan in the other pictures too. No new updates on her estimated weight. They said when I’m this far along they can’t estimate that any more because there’s just too big of a margin of error at this point so we just have to wait for her to come out and then we’ll know how much she weighs 🙂 until then we can safely assume she won’t be a small 6 or 7 pound baby, haha 🙂
I don’t really have any indication that labor is going to start any time soon… But I guess that’s kind of how it goes right?
