Oh my it was a day too! My cold (or whatever it is) seems to be breaking so that's good news. I'm done with being sick. Then, we went to the dr and MIL came with. I could tell she was super excited so that made it extra special.
As I was advised, I drank quite a bit of OJ before hand so that he would be active. Yea, did nothing. Little pain in the belly decided if he was going to move any body parts, it was going to be on the upper half, so no money shot and we are still 90% sure its a boy. But now we have a good reason for another u/s next time because he's big. Trust me.
Last time, we found out it was a boy because he wouldn't be still enough for the dr to use the doppler to get his hb. So we had a quick u/s and got a money shot but weren't totally sure. We also were told I wasn't gaining like I was supposed to, so the next appointment (which was today) she would take measurements to make sure he's growing right. Well, he is. And then some.
He should be right around 22weeks, but his head is measuring 24 1/2 weeks. His arms and legs and all those? 23 1/2 weeks to 24 1/2 weeks. So, he's measuring consistantly and all, just BIG. He's got long legs, long fingers, big hands, and a big head. She said he's in the 61 percentile for size. He's also weighing about 1 lb 4 oz, which is more than any of the books I've read said he should and thebump.com says he should be about 15 oz. But I suppose when you are measuring ahead, you have to expect to weigh more. He also had one leg up by his chest, near his chin and his other leg kind of under him, but he wouldn't spread the legs for a money shot. Little turd. He also had his hands up by his face with one of his arms extended right infront of his nose and over his head. The dr did all she could to try and jostle him into moving somewhat, but he wouldn't give it up. Then, while checking fluid levels, the little turd starts waving his hand! We didn't get a good shot of it, but it was adorable. He has a good strong hb of 155 bpm. But since he's measuring big, that means a few things. We will be getting another u/s soon to check on his growth more and that she won't let me go over 40weeks at all. We all knew he was going to be a big boy since Adam and I were both bigger babies, but we weren't expecting this! LOL might be a hunting season baby after all! Just means that I will probably be in the house taking care of little one while Adam is out hunting. MIL might not hunt this year too, depending on when he's born.
Also got some great news from my girl Elisa in AZ. SO happy for you sweetie! Crossing fingers this time is the last trick you need! Love you!
