36 week ultrasound


 Well, it has been two weeks already since the last ultrasound... Do you think we went to any of the previous places? Of course not! Well, we went to this international clinic for a checkup before trying to get pregnant, but we didn't do any ultrasounds there. It is very clean, lots of fancy equipment, but it cost more than the others (although it is still cheap at about $12!) We came at 4pm and nobody was there, all of the nurses were looking very bored. So we just paid our money and went right inside. This was a nice change from the other places were we had to wait one or two hours even when we come at the right time...

The doctor really new what she was doing, and they can even record a video to give you on vcd. But we found out that Katie was being naughty again, she turned back to have her head up! We could not get a good picture of her face because of her position. The doctor said that maybe if the baby is too big, it can not turn back down, so Thao might have to do an operation. But since we paid but could not get a good picture, we can come back next week for free to try again and check if the baby has turned.

Of course now Thao is really worried if she will have to do an operation. After reading for so many weeks about natural birth, now she has to prepare for something else. But really I think it is still too soon to know for sure, there is still 3 or 4 weeks left before the due date...

Due Date: Feb 28, 2010 (based on weeks) OR Feb 20, 2010 (based on current baby weight)
Gestational Age: 36 weeks (since LMP)
Weight: 3200g (+400g in two weeks)


Katie already weighs as much as me when I was born!
