One final inter-utero photo shoot!

So...we had another dr. appt today. :) We are 39 weeks, 5 days. The timer has long ago popped out and the baby is ready! The baby's amount of movement has decreased a little in the last couple days and the dr. was concerned about this. He sent us to an assessment center at the hospital to monitor the baby. When the dr. was alarmed...this alarmed me. I was okay at first...then got to thinking about all the potential scenarios....if things were not great, I would be admitted and induced...if things were fine, then okay to go home. We are grateful our dr. was cautious and our obvious goal is to have a healthy baby boy. :)

We had an ultrasound that would tell us four things: heart rate, fetal movement, amount of water/fluid and breathing. The baby could get a score for each one: either a 2 (good) or a 0 (bad). The goal was to get a score of 8 out of 8. Well, our boy got an A+ and scored an 8/8!!! Good job JP! :) While we were looking at the ultrasound she switched it over to 3D!!!!! So, here is a picture of our precious baby boy. I am (obviously) far along...so, we can't see as much of baby as you normally would with this type of u/s. We were SO surprised and absolutely THRILLED to get to see our baby in the first place....then to see him in 3D was AWESOME!!!! So here he is...he wouldn't move his hand, which is covering part of his face. He was also crammed into a 'corner' and wouldn't budge..so no full front shot. Isn't he DARLING though? :)

We realize the pictures are slightly distorted...but you can see his eye open just peeking at us, and part of his nose and mouth. He's SO cute!

Now, if he would just come out of there!
