36-week ultrasound

Had our very last ultrasound of the peanut today. He is growing wonderfully! His heart looks fine - as do all of his other organs. Pretty perfect, according to the ultrasound tech. Heartbeat was 143. He is estimated to be around 6 pounds now, which means if at full-term (40 weeks) he could run between 7 3/4 and 8 1/4 pounds.

It was impossible to get a good photo of the whole body and downright difficult to see the baby's face since his head is nestled down there near my pelvis. But that is a good sign - he's in the right position for birth, although no lightening or "dropping" yet. Lots of movement during the appointment - he was definitely pressing back against the ultrasound wand!
