Kai and I had our checkup today. Heartrate is good, glucose and other bloodwork came back good, and doctor says it is time to start preparing! He initially measured my uterus, which put me at 33.5 weeks... I think the look on my face said it all, so he remeasured and I still sat at about 30 weeks, which is at least a week ahead (which is what every other test has shown thus far). He says either the due date is a bit off or we have a BIG baby, so we have an ultrasound scheduled for March 28. He also claims that babies aren't built to not come out, so regardless of size, he will make his way out one way or another...
Doctor ran a quick ultrasound to get a position on Kai today. I got to see his head, butt, and legs (but wasn't able to verify the gender! Doctor wasn't really looking at that and I didn't ask). Doctor is happy with the position of the baby and says he probably will just stay in his head down position. If he maintains it through my next ultlrasound then he thinks all will be well. At my previous ultrasound he was breech, but it was still quite early for baby to be getting ready. Doctor says I am just going to get bigger and bigger as the baby gains about half a pound a week from here until near the very end, which he claims helps most women want to go into labor, as the more uncomfortable we get, the more we want it to be done with... We'll see about that...
But baby Kai needs to hang so you don't go w/o work for to long. It will all work out in good timing. Wonder how big the little guy is going to be??
