We got back blood work and ultrasound results this week, and they confirmed that baby and I are both doing fine. No gestational diabetes for me, so I think I've now officially dodged all of the most common third-trimester health woes for pregnant women. Also, we had the ultrasound today, and it confirmed 1) that the baby is head-down 2) that the baby is a boy and 3) that he's measuring only about a week bigger than expected. The typical margin of error for ultrasound measurements, from what the ultrasound technician said, is +/- 2 weeks, so that basically means he's measuring normal for his gestational age (for what that's worth, given the general accuracy of such measurements).
Unfortunately, the ultrasound tech only had access to a rather low-quality printer, so I don't have any awesome photos of the little guy to post. The low quality of the photos along with the fact that only parts of him can be seen on screen at one time now that he's so big means that the photos I got are almost indecipherable. The screen at the doctor's office showed him in much better detail, though, and it was cool to get a look at him again now that he's basically formed!
