I had a routine check-up today. Like usual we went and the nurses took my blood pressure, asked how I was feeling, and took the baby's heartbeat. That was quite a sight to see on a side note! Kayden literally KICKED the doppler and gave the nurse a hard time before settling down enough for her to get it! That alone makes me wonder what I'm in for! HAHAHA! The nurse also measured my belly. Twice. ???. She told me that I was measuring at 34 weeks. I'm only 31 weeks. Uhhhhh..... She then said that she'll have the doctor check it again when he comes in. SO we sat there. My mind was racing with thoughts of "does this mean the baby is big???" or "does that mean I'll come early???" Thankfully he walked in before I could think anymore. Asked the usual questions and got right to checking the nurses measurement of my belly. Here's how the converstation went:
Dr: Ok let's see here....WELL she was wrong. You're not measuring 34 weeks.
Me: Oh good!
Dr: You're actually measuring 35 weeks.
Me: ----- WHAT!?!?!?!?!
Ryan: HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! (Aparently it was funny to him)
Me: (when I finally found my words again) So what does that mean?
The dr then went on to order an ultrasound. We talked about a few things and I felt better knowing a little of what might be ahead. Basically it all depended on what the ultrasound said. But we talked about if Kayden gets too big our option is to check his lung development at 36 weeks with an Amnio(something) test (where they stick a needle in my belly and grab a sample of fluid) and if his lungs are good then most likely I'll be induced at or around 37 weeks to deliver vaginaly when I'm "Full Term". Other options, like c-section, were only if we had to pass that and couldn't deliver "natural" because he was too big. SO, we scheduled the ultrasound for an hour later and went to get Jace and lunch.
The ultrasound tech was awesome! She's actually the same one we had with Jace and throughout this pregnancy, so it was fun to see her again. To make a longer story short, Kayden is measuring only 1 week ahead with a u/s due date of June 4th. (YESSSSS!!!!!) He weighs (give or take a pound) 4 lbs and 8 oz. I don't know how the measuring thing works, but I'm glad that Kayden isn't in the TOO BIG catagory! The tech said 2 weeks difference was considered normal, and I'm only measuring 1 week different. Me: YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!
So everything is going GREAT and we're on track for a healthy baby and normal delivery! The tech said Kayden had hair on the back of his neck (COOL) and I could tell he is going to have HUGE cheeks like Jace did when he was born! LOL! I'm really excited for the next 6 weeks to go by! One cool side is we got more pictures of Kayden! Even some 4D ones!! So enjoy!! (p.s. the middle one was to verify it was for sure a boy. YUP it's a boy!)
