A little more detail
As you can see from the weekly pictures, Ivy is big! Maybe... too big. The ob-gyn was concerned that Linnaea might be on the large side, which could make for a more challenging delivery.
So, today we went in for another ultrasound, and learned Linnaea is about the right size, an estimated 4 pounds 10 ounces, which during week 33 puts her at about the 60-percentile for size. The doctor estimated she might be 7 1/2 to 8 pounds at delivery. Ivy's size is due to a higher than normal amount of amniotic fluid, which we're told is nothing to worry about and a sign that the placenta is doing its job well.
She is head down and facing towards Ivy's back, just the position we want her in for delivery, which isn't far away!
And one last discovery... the coming child looks like she's going to have a head full of spiky hair (look for the arrow):

Week 29, with sheep!
At the baby shower, one of our friends gave us a stuffed sheep that Linnaea will no doubt enjoy. Here's Ivy posing with it, in honor of Hug A Sheep Day!
