week 36

I am getting really close to my due date! I am going to see my doctor every week now. Last week she wanted to make sure the babies head was down so I went in for an ultrasound this Wednesday. I was very excited to see him again. His head is down and he is still a boy! He measured at 6.5 lbs and the nurse said he is going to be about 8 lbs by the due date. The baby is going to gain about a half a pound a week now. My amniotic fluid was at a good level and he had a heartbeat of 163. I think he was sucking his thumb at first because in his first profile picture it was close to his mouth. You can see his little nose and pursing lips in this profile pic of him inside the belly.

And, here is how he looks from the outside. I can't wait to meet my little man!
