Beanie II 30-Week Check-up and Ultrasound

I had my 30-week check-up today and an elective ultrasound just to be sure that all looked good with baby and the pregnancy. Baby girl looked comfy and healthy and, as I've suspected, is a big girl with lots of chub on her already. Sydney was estimated around 3 lbs and in the 40th percentile at this stage and this baby is estimated at 3 lbs 10 ounces and in the 67th percentile. Yikes! I know it's only 10 ounces, but to me, that equates to over 1/2 lb more of baby fat. I'm hoping the growth slows down a bit, but this has solidified my decision that I'll be opting for another epidural.

We also learned that the baby is unfortunately breech. There's still a chance that she will turn over the next few weeks, but we'll have to consider our options to have her turned or do a c-sec if not. I'm keeping my fingers crossed she figures it out on her own.

Here are the better shots from today's visit. She wasn't really cooperating so the tech could really only get one decent 3D shot. You can't see it as much here, but the baby has really chubby cheeks already. Jeff thinks she looks just like Sydney at this stage, but I don't see it. I've included a similar pose of Sydney from her ultrasound at this same stage (it's the pure B&W one in the middle) so you can judge for yourself. Here is the link to Sydney's 30-week post as well.
