Baby Update

I had another ultrasound yesterday.  This is my new favorite picture of the little guy too because it's the best profile picture we've seen (he usually hides his face good) and since the umbilical cord is going in front of his mouth, it kinda looks like he's blowing a bubble.  haha.  

He is doing really great!  The levels have stayed the same, very low, which is the best news possible.  He is measuring right on and they estimate him at almost 2 pounds.

I asked them about the rest of my pregnancy, wondering if he stays doing this well if there is ever a time when I can stop having ultrasounds and he'll just come naturally around his due date.  But apparently there is no way that's going to happen.  The specialist I talked to yesterday said that once I hit 35 weeks, the ultrasounds become less and less accurate and they can't tell anymore how he's doing.  So best case scenario, I'll go until 37-38 weeks and then be induced.

My normal OB had said I might be able to stop with the ultrasounds, but the specialists disagree.  I kind of hear a different thing every single time I go in because I always get a different specialist to talk with. But I figure if I ask the same questions every time I go in, I'll be able to piece together the closest to the true answer I can manage.

But for now, it looks like our little guy will come sometime around/between September 4-11.  Or earlier if things change for the bad.  But I'm not worrying about that.  I'm just happy he's doing well and feeling pressure to get going on preparations.  The next 11 weeks are going to fly!

Next ultrasound, July 5th.
