How is That Possible?!

On Tuesday, I went in for a non stress test and a regular OB appointment. I mentioned previously that I measured nearly 35 weeks along. As many of you know, this number is based on fundal height, which is the measurement from the top of the uterus to the pubic bone. After 12 weeks of pregnancy, fundal height measurement often matches the number of weeks you have been pregnant. So, if a woman is 24 weeks pregnant, the fundal height usually measures 24 centimeters. Today, only three days later, I am now measuring 42 weeks pregnant. That is more than a 7 week (and 7 cm) change in 3 days!
 
I haven't gained any weight, so I assume the addition of 7 cm to my fundal height is due to the babies readjusting. I have felt some crazy movement, so I imagine Baby A is doing the Superman in utero. It's the only reasonable explanation I can come up with! Sadly, these measurements prove that I do, in fact, look like a human torpedo.

Photographic evidence. This is the difference of five days.

After I repeatedly asked Nathan to retake my photo, he finally said: "It's not the camera. It's not the angles. It's the subject."

Ouch.

If you want to see a more interesting view of this, Nathan used his Photoshop skills to overlap the images. It's not perfect, but it definitely illustrates the point.
