Another good appointment today! Everything seems to be checking in perfectly. Baby is very healthy and we found out that as of Wednesday last week he was approximately five pounds, nine ounces (5lbs, 9ounces). He is a very good size. Not too big, and not too small. Just right. I'm very relieved. He should gain approximately two more pounds between now and my due date, so I think it is safe to say that he will be exactly where I want him - between 7 and 8 pounds. Phew!
Although the little guy is measuring well, my fundal height today was only measuring at 34 weeks. I will be 36 weeks in two days. I am a little concerned that I am measuring two weeks behind, but Dr. Yacoub didn't seem concerned at all, so I'm going to try not to worry too much about it. Baby will just be a little cramped for a while!
We did get to see him practising his breathing, which was very cool. I hope this means that he has nice, strong lungs. I don't think he will come early (in fact, I am starting to worry again that he will come late), but if he does it would be a great thing if he already had the hang of the whole breathing thing. :)
As for me, I'm healthy, too. I feel kind of silly because I never have any questions or big concerns when he asks me how I am doing or if I have any questions. He must have asked me three times today if I had any questions. I was almost going to ask "Why? Is there something I should be asking that I don't know about?" He seems satisfied with how things are going, though, so I don't think I have anything to worry about. I'm still gaining weight, but not as much as my last appointment. Two pounds in the last two weeks. Not bad. Now, hopefully I stay steady like this and don't have anymore freak weight gains.
My next appointment is next week. Hard to believe I am already at the weekly appointments! It's getting so close! And yet it still doesn't seem to be coming quickly enough for me...
You must be getting really excited to be a mommy, sis. It sounds like things are going great.
