June's Ultrasound

Today was my ultrasound for June. I'm pretty sure I only have ONE ultrasound left (next month) until D-day!
This week they started my twice-a-week fetal monitoring. I'm wondering if I should be worried since the first nurse said he sounded like a wild one, and the second nurse said that he was moving really well for a baby that wasn't even 32 weeks along! Little man STILL had his feet crossed, just hanging out like he was on a tropical island...
Here are a few photos from today:
Do you SEE the chubby cheeks on this little guy??? His head is laying down with his chin to the left of the screen and his forehead to the right. I want to munch on his cheeks right now!
Here's another profile shot. You can see how he's getting bigger every month.
And here is the scan of his heart rate. I was a little concerned that it was only 124 bpm, but the nurse said he was just chillin' out at that point and she was going to check again. Unfortunately I got really dizzy and almost threw up, so we had to cut the ultrasound a little short. That's what happens when you don't bring something to eat because the last time you were there you were in and out fast. Not today. :o(
Today, by all previous measurements, I am 31 weeks and 5 days pregnant. However, Mr. Kicky-Pants is growing like a weed, and so today they said I measured at 32 weeks and 4 days pregnant! He weighs 4lbs 2oz already. The Perinatologist said I won't make it to 40 weeks. Can I get a hallelujah? He said everything still looks great!
So there's the update! :o)
