Last Ultrasound

I went for my last visit and ultrasound with the high risk doctor this past week. I was excited to find out that the calcification is still gone!! So, I guess its time to breathe a sigh of relief and start believing that it won't come back. Little Emma measured in at a whopping 5lbs 15oz with 5 weeks and 2 days until her due date. Basically, she is almost the size of a small full term baby. I guess we are still looking at having a large baby. I'm hoping she is fully developed soon and will come a little early, just to lower the chances of having to be induced or having a c-section because of her size. However, the doctor doesn't seem concerned about it. She said that 9lb babies are perfectly normal. I wonder if SHE has given birth to a 9lb baby, as she might feel differently. Here are some pictures from the ultrasound. She has chubby cheeks like her mom.

Still keeping her hands close to her face. The fuzziness on the right side is the placenta.

I also asked the doctor if she had started to drop, but the answer was no. She appears to be enjoying her time inside the womb. She's in no rush to join the rest of the world.

In other news, Bryan finished the baby's room. I just have to finish washing some things and put them away. Then, we'll be completely done with the room. I am currently working on getting my maternity leave plans finished for the substitute. I'm finding that it takes a tremendous amount to work to plan for 3-4 weeks. On the books for this week are finishing my maternity leave and some other school tasks, packing my hospital bag, finish washing Emma's stuff, studying for my principal certification test (taking it on Tuesday), and the normal stuff around the house. I'm even hoping to sleep in next Saturday!!! Then, I'll have to start my next master's class. I want to work as far ahead as possible, because the baby should be born sometime during the course.
