Messal Baby #3 - WAY Overdue Ultrasound Pics

Sweet Peanut #3 - starting to grow... We were about 8 weeks pregnant here - this was my first ultrasound and doc appointment. 

 And, pics from the midway ultrasound on March 26, 2014. Sweet sweet baby. We didn't look - AGAIN!

 In the midway ultrasound, there was a little echo on the baby's heart. When paired with other symptoms (e.g., raised levels in the quad screening, lower growth), it could be a sign of a problem. Landon and I both acted like we didn't panic, then independently spent the night scouring the internet that evening looking for explanations. Neither of us admitted to the other what we were doing, but we both amazingly woke up the next day experts on this condition.

Of course, internet expertise ALWAYS results in worst-case-scenario thinking... so I was a bit crazy that week.

When I got an email from Cora's teacher that she was a bit lethargic on Friday at school, I scooped her up and went straight to the Messal-Famous laid-back pediatrician Dr. Davis under the guise of getting Cora's ears and cough checked-out. He asked about the pregnancy, I explained the ultrasound...

Dr. Davis: Carrie - this cough that Cora has that I am not even treating? I am MUCH more concerned about that cough than I am about what you described in the baby's ultrasound.

By the weekend we decided to give it not another thought (that's a stretch - but we have given it very little more convo).

Throughout pregnancy baby has measured big - we were over 97% in size at the midway ultrasound.
She did a third, quick ultrasound around 27 weeks, and the babe was measuring 85%.
Oddly (thankfully!), I'm measuring a little small, so no major worries.

We're technically 37 weeks today (and by my calculations based on when we think the due date actually is), 38 weeks today.

It's clearly the home stretch!
