We had another good checkup today. We had a 3rd trimester ultrasound. I was a little afraid & Paul Michael a lot hopeful that we would find out the sex of the baby. This little booger did not want that to happen. Right now he or she is breech. We could see the head & spine, but we didn't get any good pictures. And definitely did not get a peek of little girl or boy parts. Doc had a hard time getting femur measurements because of the baby's position. He eventually got all the measurements he needed, and everything is normal.
The heart rate was 148. And the baby weighs 2 lbs. 6 oz.
I gained another 5 lbs. & my bp was good.
The downside to this appointment was that from now on Dr. Pineda strongly suggested that we not travel. Not because anything is wrong, but just to be on the safe side. He said he wouldn't want us to be away from home if I went into preterm labor & be stuck in a hospital somewhere else.
So, this means no Thanksgiving or Christmas travels :(
I might try to sneak a trip in there, but this baby's very, very protective daddy has said otherwise.
Our next appointment will be Dec. 6. Since we are in the final trimester he wants to see us more often (every 2-3 weeks).
For the family that I won't get to see this week :( Look how much I've grown!

ReplyDeleteisn't it fun? i can still close my eyes and imagine the feeling of the first feelings of life within me; and holly is 34 years old. a feeling you can't explain until you experience it. i'm sure by now you can see a whole foot, arm, whatever crossing over your whole belly.
