Well, I guess this is really more of the same growth update. I had my ob appointment and my u/s results finally posted, so I could see where nugget is growth-wise. Her weight is right at the 50%, and all the measurements are right on - the only one that is a bit strange since we have so many tall genes is her femurs are only measuring in the 37%. But then I remind myself that these measurements are done in millimeters, so there is a reason they give a +/- for the measurements. Otherwise, she is measuring right in between the measurements for SB and BW for the same timeframe. If that keeps up, she will hopefully be right between them weight-wise at birth, which would put her at about 7 lbs. OB also declared at my appt that nugget is still breech. He said if she hasn't flipped by 36 weeks he will schedule a version to try and turn her. She is also posterior much of the time. I have another u/s coming up already - that should be the last or second-to-last one, I expect. I am very relieved that I haven't had any complications from the circumvallate placenta so far.
SB and BW get very excited to say hi to the baby, touch the baby, kiss the baby etc. with my bump. I'm fairly certain they don't actually get the concept, but it's fun to see them so excited.
I'm starting to get fairly anxious about 3 under 3. As I was doing bathtime for SB and BW the other night, and they were all giggly and goofy, I started thinking about how bath/bedtime will work once nugget is here. I expect that the hubs and I will need to split bath and bedtime duties for a while, as I will be nursing and probably busy with nugget while SB and BW are getting ready for bed. Hopefully once nugget is sitting up on her own bath and bedtime will become more of an assembly line and group activity and will be a bit more manageable. I am so lucky that hubs is willing and able to help out, but I also love bedtime. I have so little weekday time with SB and BW the way it is, I hate to also give up bedtime routine every night.
