"Little Elvis" has his mommy's nose
Mere and I got another look at "Little Elvis" today. We went for another sonogram to check the baby's size, position and to pinpoint the due date. All went very well, apart from a bit of discomfort for Mere as the ultrasound technician pressed hard on her lower abdomen to get a look at the birth canal. I didn't feel a thing, by the way.
"Little Elvis" is already very smart -- he's got himself head down in the proper position and will not likely change position before birth. The kicks and movements that Mere continues to feel and we continue to see on her belly are the motions of his arms, legs and bottom. He weighs in at a whopping 6 lbs. 6 oz., and the technician says that's right where he needs to be (puts him in the 48th percentile of pregnancies at 36 weeks, 3 days). The cutest part is that he's got Mere's nose -- very fortunate for him. I got my big honker from my mother, so looks like "Little Elvis" is following suit.
It was good news all around this week--my brother and sister-in-law had a sonogram and found out that they will be having a boy. It's so very exciting! There is a slight concern in that my sister-in-law has, if I remember correctly, a cervical cyst. Spotty bleeding early on in the pregnancy is what led to the discovery of the cyst. It has gotten a bit heavier of late, but the doctor seems to prefer not to deal with it until after the baby is born. I assume that this would be an intrusive procedure and the doctor, as well as my brother and sister-in-law, do not want to jeopardize the pregnancy.
Anyone familiar with cervical cysts? Any similar stories or words of wisdom?
