38 Weeks!


Well, we both left the doctors office a little bummed today.  I haven't made any progress from last week.  So definitely bummed.  Although, the good news is our little man is doing fine.  He scored another perfect score on his test.  His heart rate was 148bpm.  He has definitely grown since last time.  He now weighs 6 pounds 13 ounces, he still has a big head that measures 9.8cm and has a gestational age of 40 weeks.  His abdomen measurement is still small and has a gestational age of 35 weeks and 5 days.  His femur bone was also a little small and had a gestational age of 36 weeks.  So overall he his doing well, they just think he will have a big head and skinny body.  So we are both happy that he is doing well, just a little bummed that he won't be here soon.  I also asked the doctor a few other questions.  My B Strep Test was negative, so I won't have to have any antibiotics when I am in labor.  My other question was what happens if I don't have him by my due date, and she said they sometimes was 7-10 days.  I hope that isn't the case with me.  I don't think I can wait that long.  So please pray that progress happens between now and next week and I go into labor naturally.  Well, until next Tuesday or unless something changes between now and then.  Pray for some progress!!!  We did get one good shot with his hand in front of his face.  It makes his hands look big.  Enjoy!!!
