32 Week Appt
Today we had our 32 week appt. and everything went great! We met with Dr. Stark the perinatologist (baby specialist)to do an ultrasound to check on the baby's kidneys since the fluid level was slightly above average at 20 weeks. They both checked out perfect! So just like the doctor said, they would fix themselves most likely before he/she is born. There was an intern helping him out so she took a while to measure the baby and check for different things. Which was fine with me since it meant more time viewing the baby. As after she was done the doctor double checked everything. Officially the baby now weighs 3 lbs 13 ounces! This is right on target since a 32 week baby ranges from 3.75 to 4 lbs.
The only bummer was the baby was laying horizontal across my tummy with it's face down. So we had a really tough time getting any good pictures. Plus, the baby was kicking and punching the whole time. Definitely does not like being poked! Though it was really cute that part of the time it had hiccups! We could see it's body jolt, so neat!
And just to keep track, I now have gained 21 lbs (I'm 32.5 weeks). I'm really happy with this since if I keep on the 1 lb/week rate I'll be in the high 20s or about 30 lbs when the baby is born. Woo hoo!
