Baby Albarrán - Week 34

Week 34... WOW!!! I can hardly believe it's getting so close! :-) We went to see the doctor this week, and I had a Bio Physical Profile (BPP) Ultrasound on the baby. It works on an 8 point system, and I’m happy to say Baby Albarrán scored an 8 out of 8! I don’t think we were in the ultrasound room 90 seconds, so we didn't get to see a whole lot. But here's what we did find out: The baby’s heart rate was 159, which was good, and we did confirm again that, yes, it is indeed a boy! :-) We also got to see him squirming around a lot! He’s definitely a little wiggle worm. He got 2 points for movement! And we also got to see him practice breathing! He takes little practice breaths of amniotic fluid. That was pretty cool! And the best thing we saw was that…drumroll.... He has finally flipped! He is now head down and getting ready for delivery. Whew… one less thing to worry about! Here’s a picture of the profile of his face. He's got his fist up by his mouth, so I think he is still sucking his thumb! Braces = $5,000 :-)
