Doc did think that what I've been having is BH, but she wasn't too concerned. She says they're OK as long as they're not regular or more frequent. Plus my cervix was nice and long on ultrasound today, and closed up tight (she went ahead and did an internal given my concerns during the past week about pelvic pressure sensations), so we were both very reassured by that! YAAAAY for passing your 3 hr GTT!!! 
Cervix is nice and long (3.2cm) and closed up tight on internal exam. Placenta is now a good 6.5cm away from cervix (was only 3cm away last ultrasound) - YAY! And Ellie is vertex now, which my doc liked ("I like that this baby can navigate your pelvis!") LOL. She does think I've been having BH, but as I mentioned above, is OK with that as long as they continue to be like they have been. Got a good look at her spine and kidneys today, since we missed those at the anatomy scan, and they all look nice and normal! 
It's a face-on shot again, but just of her nose and lips, with head oriented the same way as before. Image you're looking at her face on, but she's got her head tilted back with her mouth open, and you can see up her nostrils...that's what it is. The bigger oval dark area is her open mouth, and there are 2 smaller dark areas above that are her nostrils!
. I hope the next 10 weeks are better for you and that you are holding your precious boy soon.
. Next thing he will be telling everyone what name we have chosen (if he hasn't already) and leaving no element of surprise. How do I get him to understand that this matters to me or am I just overreacting?
awesome belly shots - I missed posting my first one our house is in current state of renovations so trying to find a place that does not look like a disater hit it is hard LOL. Allie good luck with the proteins 38wks not much longer now such cute US pics
. And look at fiery's links! I hope it works out for you!! I agree, people screaming PUSH isn't my idea of a calm experience! It's no wonder that women are portrayed as evil monsters while giving birth... Look at what they have to deal with!
!! I especially like the nose/lips one. How is that even possible?? My doc didn't seem worried in the least - she said it was most likely water weight. But dag, 10lbs in 2 weeks seems a bit much to me! My 30w appt is Friday, so we'll see what the scale says then.
He's been so good to me lately (maybe especially so now that I really look pregnant). 
Charles "Charlie" Alexander arrived at 7:24pm on 10/12/10. He is so stinking cute. From the start of pit to the birth was about 14 hours total, and about 30 minutes of pushing. I will post a more detailed story later on but here is a picture of the little bug.
Both my husband and I are tall so I thought he would be more long than anything. I didn't carry HUGE so I figured maybe 7lbs at the most.
Also with you on the killer chin hairs..... Thanks for all of the extra testosterone, little boy!
(phew, what a relief), but I am getting bleeding now. I also have had uncontrollable itching behind my ears and upper back with hard little bumps that look like acne, but the midwife said that it's probably an allergic reaction, to use menthol gel (which really soothes) and to go see my regular doctor. I also have an itchy crotch and don't know if that's related or again something different but can't use menthol gel there because that would just be way to sharp. earliest doc will see me is Friday. at least the itchiness doesn't keep me awake.

) Can you imagine how big he would have been if he went full term?
