Magpie is now 34 weeks gestation (and change).
She is in the 35th%ile for weight - I think they said she weighs about five pounds, which my providers are very happy about, given the gestational diabetes. And she passed yesterday's biophysical profile with flying colors - practicing breathing, kicking, having a good (but not too much) amount of amniotic fluid - another sign that the GD is not raging too much out of control).
That's my girl!
She is also kicking up a storm these days. Her head is down and her feet are up under the right side of my ribs now. She also seems to like to do what Will and I call "butt thrusts." Maybe it is the downward dog yoga position?
We also got another 3-D picture of her while we were at the growth scan. Magpie is looking very much like my husband Will. In fact, Will can do a Magpie impression by puffing his cheeks out that looks dramatically similar. It's quite something. My impressions only make me look silly, but don't resemble her in the least. Perhaps she will be a Daddy's Girl (not surprising. Moxie the Boxer is definitely also a Daddy's Girl).
Here she is, in all her glory...

Hi- I've been reading your site ever since I came upon it one day after chatting with you as we waited for our retrievals back in May 2010. I think I wrote previously about this but I literally happened on your site and read your post that day and realized by the description you had provided that you were the very person that waited in a tiny room with me (sans husbands) discussing our IF backgrounds. I became pregnant that cycle (my 3rd) and now have 2.5 y.o. twins via Dr. D. and Dr. S's coculture. But I've been reading your blog ever since with fingers crossed and often update my husband with a "Hey! Remember that crazy coincidence when I found that blog of the girl from the C. waiting room?? She's getting ready to have her baby!!" So awesome!! Best wishes!
Anonymous - oh wow! congrats on your twins! that's fantastic! how funny that you found me! we are incredulous - and thrilled - to finally be where we are at. really, really excited! thanks so much for your excitement on our behalf!
Mo

Oh she has got some cute cheeks!!! You are soooooo close! Eeek! I'm so excited for you!!!
Precious! :)
So happy for you and Will.
