Growth scan ultrasound

Today we checked in to see how big our baby actually is since he's measuring a little large from the outside. We are not off the charts, but at the 75th percentile. After an excruciating appointment (more later) we learned that all of his measurements estimate him to be at about 6 lbs, 10 oz. at almost 36 weeks of 40. We could watch his heart beat and watch him "breathing." She pointed out that the halo around his head was his hair which looks to be full, no certainty on baby/daddy matching sideburns:)

The baby is dropping down a little bit now and moving a little less in his tightening uterine straight jacket. As per his ultrasound track record, he was a little bit off of the most convenient orientation for her measurements, which made it a little difficult. But the hardest part was keeping from fainting from being on my back. We had to stop and start several times for me to turn over and get my color back. I have about 5 minutes on my back before it sets in, so we did it in spurts about 5 times of a few minutes of ultrasound, then a side roll to let the blood flow.
From our go-to baby site obstetrician:

Once you get to the third trimester of pregnancy, I don't recommend lying flat on your back for any prolonged period of time. When you lie on your back, the increased weight of your uterus presses on the major vein that returns blood from your legs to your heart.

I'll be cancelling my dentist appointment for next week, I'll never make it.
