Ultrasounds

I have had a lot of practice ultrasounds during this pregnancy with the intern at work. It's much easier for her to practice on the same person, and most patients aren't in the mood. Anyway, we had another ultrasound this week, and the baby is currently halfway between breech and transverse, meaning she's sort of sideways facing my belly button. There is plenty of time for her to turn, so it's nothing to worry about at this point. She's currently about a foot long and weighs nearly a pound. She is VERY active right after I wake up, and certainly tells me when she's hungry, or she doesn't like how I'm sitting. In the last 24 hours I can tell that she has changed position becuase the bulk of the kicking has moved. Pretty soon others will be able to feel the movement as well. It will be interesting to see Lucy's reaction to that! I'm also starting to get myself geared up for her birth. While pregnancy isn't 'new' to me, normal labor and delivery is uncharted territory.  I am nervous but very excited to have that experience this time.
