Just over 5 weeks to my due date!

Well as of about 33 weeks I have been having daily Braxton Hicks contractions. A few a day, in no regular pattern, but more typically at night time. There aren't painful in any way and I figure my body should practice as much as it wants to! I have had a little more back pain and notice a slight swelling in my hands and feet off and on, but nothing too bad. Still wearing my rings! =) Still another week til I go in to meet another midwife. Then two and a half weeks after that I meet the 4th midwife. Seems like my appointments are so spaced out, but even with my asking for more appointments to get to know the midwifes better - they didn't offer me up any other appointments. I am getting so excited, anxious, and nervous about the big day and after! So many questions - like when he will come, how the labor will be, the length of the labor, will he have any problems, what kind of baby will he be, will clint be here?? ect ect ect I try to keep them in the back of my mind, but the closer I get the more I seem to think about them!

Isn't he so cute?? His face looks so defined already!

January 31st I had an ultrasound appointment at Madigan. The ultrasound area is on the same floor as labor and delivery, but in a completely separate area from the OB clinic. I didn't actually see a midwife, but just an ultrasound technician. The lady was so nice who did the ultrasound. She seemed so knowledgable also! His weight estimate was 4 pounds 2 ounces. This was exactly 2 weeks ahead for the averages - but that isn't too bad. All of his bones were checked and measured. All parts of his brain were measured to make sure they were growing correctly. They measured how much spinal fluid he had and that all his vertebrate matched up with eachother. They checked the circumference of his head is right about 30cm, and his diameter was 8 or 9cm. They checked to make sure the placenta wasn't too close to the cervix. They checked to make sure there was the right amount of amniotic fluid for him in there. They did a really thourough look at him, and gave me a lot of pictures. I didn't get them from there, wink wink, but they did a 4D ultrasound for me where we could see his face! He is so adorable to me! I can't wait to see him and hold him! He has hair too! You could see the hairs all sticking off of his head just floating in the fluid!
