Baby Update!

Today was a fun doctor’s appointment! On top of a doctor’s visit, today is 33 weeks.  Only 7 weeks left!  We got to see Zoey today; been awhile since the last time we had a sonogram was at 19 weeks.  Boy, has she changed!  Sadly we didn’t get many good 4D pictures due to she wasn’t having it.  She had her hand in front of her face most of the time and wouldn’t turn toward us to get a good view.  We got one ok one and if you look at it far away you can make out her face.  I personally cannot tell much from it, as far as who she looks like, but you can tell it’s her face.   

On more exciting news, you can see she has HAIR!  Ok, so I know this is not a big deal to most, but I did not have much hair until I was about 2 years old.  I have been hoping she would have hair, even just a little, so people wouldn't stop and say “what a cute little boy!”
. 
Even more exciting news, I have a definite end in sight!  Since my due date is the 27th of December, I have been worried about my doctor being out of town.  (Side Note:  While I understand that doctors can’t always be on call and have to rotate on who is on call, but I really want my doctor to be the one who delivers the baby. I spend all this time seeing him and building a relationship that I want him to be there when the time comes.)  I went ahead today and brought it up on what the plan was.  Thankfully Dr. Hudson is not going out of town during the holidays.  He has a few days before that he will be out, but hopefully when I start going every week we will be able to tell before that if things are progressing fast enough for me to go into labor while he is out or not.  One reason I love Dr. Hudson is he prefers to deliver his own patients regardless if he is on call.  Ok, so I know that was a bunch of ramblings, but the point is, he said he would not let me go past my due date!!!! While I have never been a fan of inducing I have been worried that I would go past the New Year and wasn’t thrilled about that at all.  Dr. Hudson prefers not to let you go past 40 weeks; which means no later than the 28th Zoey will be here!!!  So if she has not arrived on her own by the 27th, we will induce.  I am praying she decides to come on her own, but I am thrilled to know we have a definite day when she will make her grand entrance!

Only shot of her face we were able to get.  Maybe you can make it out if you look at it from a distance.

In this one you can see her hair!  Amazing how you can see that on the sonogram.  All I have to say is I can say that the old wives’ tale is true, heartburn/acid reflux = hair. Too bad we can’t see what color it is.
