The skinny:

Estimated weight: 4lbs 7oz (49th percentile)

There was plenty of fluid, there was a VERY head down baby with hair on her head, and everything looked good. We don't have the "official" word from the midwives or anything but the ultrasound tech said everything looked great.

I honestly don't know where 4lb 7oz of baby is hiding in my little gut. I think I might have a tilted uterus because the tech found baby's butt to be higher on my abdomen than the midwives have been measuring. I can't believe there's a baby butt so high in my gut and I can't even tell.

It was a good time and definitely worth it. We got to fall madly in love with our kid all over again. What I thought was a stray foot poking me was actually her knees and elbows, which would explain why it hurts so much sometimes.

Yay baby!

Well, usually ultrasounds are like this: See this blob, it's a kidney. See this bigger blob, that's the stomach. Look, a hand! (Looks like a blob.)

So yesterday was, See that blurry stuff right there? Your baby has hair.

I can't say it's obvious to me but I will take her word for it. :) She also showed us how our kid's gut was moving up and down as she practiced breathing with the amniotic fluid. THAT was cute.
