30wk Appoitment update

Everything is wonderful, no change to the due date and Jacob is measuring just fine. He currently weighs 3.3lbs. At the ultrasound they measured the head, femur, saw the 4 chambers of the heart beating (my favorite thing to see), checked the cervix length, confirmed he is still a boy (and he definitely is!) and watched him for a little while moving his arms and turning. Things look great and he is head down!!!

They take a bunch of measurements and then average them out to make sure he is on track. They look for all the measurements to be within a week of your gestation date and she said everything looked right on track. I look to be on track to have a 7-8lb baby. DH said his head was measuring about 2 weeks ahead, but given that the head is always the biggest and the rest of the body is growing to catch up, I am not concerned at all and the doctor said nothing about this. We saw his brain and his head and everything looked good…..he is probably getting ready to go through another growth spurt in the next week or so.

I go back to the doctor on the 27th and then I will be seeing her weekly till I deliver, I can’t believe it is almost here. So as my doctor put it, she loves coming in and seeing me pregnant and for now she is a very happy camper!!! Oh and my blood pressure was awesome, the best yet at 128/74…..so all in all, yesterday was wonderful!!

On a side note – Jacob’s furniture came in yesterday and his room is looking great. The art work arrives tomorrow and then I will take some pictures. DH still has to work on the closet doors, but that will be after the bar exam. Other than that, the rest is in the details, but after yesterday, I am not worried at all that Jacob will be coming early…..which is great because that means I can stay home with him until January 4th!!!
