I had my regular Dr. appointment yesterday and all went well. I am 36 weeks along and the baby looked great. The Dr. had been concerned about the size of the baby last appointment and had me schedule an ultrasound for yesterday. I wasn't complaining...I get to see the baby again bigger this time. So Matt was able to go with me and we had a good ultrasound! The lady that does them is very knowledgeable and very thorough in the exam showing us where everything is and why that is important to see. So we saw the kidneys and the bladder and knew then knew things were working in that area, that the baby can eat and swallow. We also saw the heart beating and the 4 chambers, good news, no heart condition! We saw the umbilical cord with 3 vessels, that is good because most babies that have Chromosomal Deformities only have 2 vessels. So overall our baby is healthy and strong. It is measuring about 6 lbs, 9 oz. so a good size. My blood pressure was a tad high, but nothing to worry about. I have 2 more appointments with the Dr until the baby is here. Next week and the 7th, then the birth will be on the 15th. Can't wait to meet the newest member of the family!!! Oh by the way, still don't know the sex, we reminded her that we didn't want to know so it is still a surprise!!
