Baby Boy Is Having Growth Spurt

Today I had a doctor's appointment and it was a doozie. I first went into the lab and had to drink the solution for the glucose test, then shortly afterward, my nurse called me back for weighing and blood pressure. Next, my doctor saw me and thought that I needed an ultrasound because my belly had a growth spurt (31 cm) and they needed to make sure that the baby is not too big at 28 weeks. The ultrasound technician said that everything was fine and that the baby is right on target weighing in at 2lbs. 7ozs., which is up from the last appointment where he weighed 1lb. 5ozs. So baby boy is doing really well except for the fact that he is breach right now. However, he should be turning down in the next few weeks and his heart rate is good, showing up in the 140's. Next, came scheduling my next four appointments which are two weeks apart at this point and finally, it was off to the lab again to do the blood drawing for the glucose test.

It certainly was a busy morning but I'm glad we got that all out of the way. It won't be long now and this little boy seems to be excited to greet the world. We all can't wait... especially his brothers!
