We got to see our new doctor today! Christian and I couldn't be happy with our decision to jump ship and got see Dr. A. He is awesome. Just what we were looking for. He is a little odd and very spiritual, almost like he has the ability to heal. I know it sounds weird, but we waiting a long time and normally this makes me crazy, but the minute he walked in, I was instantly calm.
Anyway, the new office wants to see me weekly because for sometime now I have been measuring almost 2 weeks ahead of my weekly date. At all your OB appointments they check you fundal height measurement. This measurement normally coincides with how many weeks you are pregnant. Okay, enough of the lesson...most of you don't really care. Anyway, today I measured again at 36 weeks and I am only 34 week pregnant. Because of this, we were scheduled for an ultrasound to check the amount of water I was carrying and the overall size of this munchkin.
The results are in: This baby is HUGE! and my water is normal. Cervix is long and closed.
Although he didn't move my due date, he did say that if I carried to term I should expect a 9lb baby at the least. Ummm.....
Currently, the baby is weighing in a 6lbs and 13 oz. It is common for the baby to gain 1/2 lb each week going forward. If I carry to term this means I WILL have a 9 1/2 lb baby. This is a little crazy to imagine.
Maybe I should put away the newborn clothes and go for 0-3 months right off the start!
More to come next week!
