Today was my 37 weeks check up. I was still only 1 centimeter dilated and 80% effaced. I measured 34 weeks so I asked the doctor if he thought the baby was going to be small. He felt around my stomach and then suggested we go for a sonogram to get a better idea.
So I am totally excited because I haven't seen the baby since I was five months pregnant. The sonogram tech gets all of his measurements and tells us that the baby is actually measuring right on target for my due date. The reason the doctor's measurements were off was because the baby is already head down and very low. So I'm basically carrying his legs, bottom and belly in my stomach. The rest is already shoved down in my pelvic area which the doctor wouldn't have been able to measure.
I am feeling so great now that I know he is okay. Then she goes on to tell us that his estimated weight is 6 lbs. 15 oz. Wow! Sarah was 6lbs. 4 oz. so I am expecting him to be a good size. Finally she reassures us that the baby is definitely a boy and proceeds to show us. Thank goodness!
Overall, the appointment was totally awesome! In a few weeks we will be meeting our little boy. Now we just play the waiting game!
