Week 34 Appointment

This afternoon was our 34-week appointment. We got an unexpected ultrasound, because I'm still measuring ahead, and all is good: Baby size is on track for its age and the fluid levels are fine. She's 5 pounds, 2 ounces (average weight for 34 weeks is 5 pounds, so she's doing good! Average length for this age is 12.6 inches; don't know how long she is). Here are pictures from the ultrasound, and she already is looking like Aaron:

Other things were pretty good from the appt. They drew my blood again today, which we were expecting, because of having elevated liver levels (after being sick) and then slightly better but still elevated levels last time. I'm going back again next week, which I think might be the start of our weekly visits. It's getting so close, we're so excited, and the time is going so fast!

We've now seen all the doctors in the practice and have found our favorites. We had high expectations for today's doctor -- she's rated one of the best in the DC area, and she supports natural birth (from what we could tell from looking at VA-MD-DC online bulletin boards) -- but we like one or two of the other doctors better.

Next appointment in 1 week (Monday, Feb. 18).
