The third ultrasound
"I recently had my third ultrasound. This one was to make sure that Bucky's little heart's right exit valve was pumping and fully formed.
Everything seemed a-okay with the little four-chamber heart. It oscillated Beautifully -- right, left, right, left -- flow blood, flow! It is so tiny, yet so strong.
Bucky is advancing well. I'm at 25 weeks and Bucky's development measures at a little over 26 weeks! This is starting to concern me a little because my siblings and I all weighed eight pounds or more at birth, and I have since learned that Ross, arriving a few weeks early, weighed over seven pounds.
I am also curious to know if Bucky will arrive early or late -- my family all arrived late, the kid's in my husband's faminly all arrived early. I asked my doctor at this visit and she said that the trigger for when a woman goes into labor is just as much a mystery as, say, the trigger for hiccups.
We didn't receive a great ultrasound photo this time around, but it's comforting to know Bucky is still healthy and growing. We also learned that Bucky is now pointed head down, and probably will stay that way. This seems early to me, but it's good to know that we wont have to deal with a breech-birth (feet first). Our little one is so advanced!
After the ultrasound, I had my regular October check-up. I'm shocked to say that I gained just as much weight in the last month as I did the first five months! I think my inability to avoid sugary treats has something to do with that.... I promise for Bucky's sake to put down the pudding pops (which I just found after years and years of searching) and pick up a carrot stick more often."

I think you're entitled to all the pudding pops you want. Bucky needs nourishment and I seriously doubt your could get fat if you tried.
I like pudding pops. More pudding pops!
