26 weeks sono pictures and updates

Oliver and I had his 26 week check-up today and I come bearing photos. I so wish I could freeze frame the photos myself. I'll see the perfect profiles and the perfect photo ops and I'm always slightly disappointed with the ones I'm handed as I leave the room. It just doesn't do justice to how amazing the ultrasound experience actually is.First, his foot. Cuteness!

Just a sweet little profile. You can see his hand and arm in the center (saying hi) haha.
Another profile to check-out.

It was amazing today to see he is a bit thicker and more baby-like than last time. Two weeks from my third trimester, I now start going in every 2 weeks! We are due to set-up our pre-admission appointment with labor and delivery and I am also due for a glucose test to check for gestational diabetes and a rogam (sp!) shot for my negative blood factor.

On the baby end...The placental lake they were monitoring is now gone! Oliver weighs a little more than 2 lbs (estimate from measurements) and my Doctor says that due to all the amniotic fluid--he will likely be a big baby--surprise surprise. She was delicate in saying that although he is currently in the 50% on weight he will likely be very big! He was healthy and active and my blood pressure was amazing. They said better than a non-pregnant healthy persons blood pressure--95/60!

His head is down low (in position more or less), his bum is at the top left of my belly and side and his feet are up high on the right--which would explain my ribs hurting on the right side all the time! Three months to go! How crazy.
