Baby update

So they did an ultrasound at this morning's appointment just to put my mind at ease about my lack of weight gain. He looked awesome. Aside of being breech (plenty of time to turn), he weighed approx 3 pounds 7 oz putting him in the 55%. He was very active thanks in part to a high amount of amniotic fluid (which will be rechecked at next appt in 2 weeks). They said the amniotic fluid may not cause any issues or may cause increased contractions (which I do already have) so they'll watch me closely. He was shown multiple times kicking himself in the head during the picture taking session. For the very first time in my mommy life, they did 4D pictures for me and it was so awesome to see his chubby cheeks and see him look so "real." What fun I had today.

Melissa,

That is so fantastic. your excitement is so wonderful. But...you're gonna have to get that boy to quit kicking himself in the head! NONE of that allowed!! lol!

Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us.

I know Sherri. I told the ultrasound tech he would be born with bruises on his head! Too funny. I have loved sharing this experience with you all and hope you'll come visit at the hospital too so that Noah can meet his OH family also!

When I was pregnant with my daughter they did the 4D ultrasound pics. Those are awesome. I'm glad to hear everything is going good with the baby!
