31 Weeks

Cameron's cute little face, his lips look funny, b/c the umbilical cord is running acrossed them, but his lips are normal.  Who's nose do you think he has? 

Today I had another ultrasound to follow-up on why my belly was measuring small last week and to follow-up on my bloodwork.  The ultrasound showed that he is weighing 3 pounds 11 ounces, his head was measuring in the 90th Percentile, which I believe I saw was about 8cm.  His belly only measured in the 3rd Percentile, which is a little small for where he is supposed to be.  I think when she was measuring his belly is gestational age was 29 weeks for his belly.  His overall age, was 32 weeks 4 days.  The ultrasound tech said that his head was making up for his belly at this point.  He is also head down already at this point and I believe he was facing my right side and that his feet are up and around my right side which is where he has been jabbing me in the side pretty good.  We got to see all 4 chambers of his heart funtioning good, he was also breathing, but he was being difficult he would breath several times and stop and then breath again.  The ultrasound tech said that was all normal though.  My cervix, placenta, and amniotic fluid all looked good along with the blood flow threw the umbilical cord.  The babies heart rate was 151 bpm.  Overall, everything looked good besides his belly measurement.  All of my bloodwork, blood pressure, and weight all looked good.  Due to his belly measurement the doctor recommended that I get a weekly BioPhysical Ultrasound which measures his fetal movements and follow-up with the doctor following the ultrasound, and then in 3 weeks we will get another growth ultrasound to make sure he is continuing to grow like he is supposed to.  She just instructed me to count his kicks and make sure I am counting 10 kicks in an hour just once a day.  So all in all everything looked good.  Let just keep our fingers crossed that everything continues to look good and we have a healthy little boy in about 8 1/2 weeks.
