3rd Trimester

33wk appt & growth u/s update

I know some of you ladies were worried about measuring small and having a potential growth u/s to check on LO.  I told ya'll I'd update, so here it is :)

I had been measuring 2 weeks behind for some time, my last appt I measured 29cm at 31 weeks, and had only gained 13lbs.  Today I'm still measuring 29cm at 33 weeks, but I'm up 3 more lbs from last time.  I had my growth scan this morning which produced some less than stellar photos of Nolan (the little turd wouldn't cooperate again), but the news was good!  He is measuring in the 52nd percentile which is about average at 4 1/2lbs.  He is growing right on time, despite my uncooperative ute, it just doesn't have much room left to grow inside me.  So even though you might be measuring small on the fundal side, your LO is probably growing just fine.  :)  Hope this helps some of you to not worry so much!

In other news my cervix is still completely closed and my fluid was "excellent".  My OB freaked me out a bit with this, "Remember, we need you to stay pregnant for another 2 weeks".  I about choked...reality check!  I start internals at my next appt in 2 weeks YIPPEE.  She described my pregnancy as "boring" LOL, so we're good to go!

The pics aren't too great, but Nolan is already sporting some hair (totally unexpected), a monster penis (hey hey!), and mommy's high cheek bones :)
