Ultrasound Update


Well Alison went in for an ultrasound today because they were concerned about the Baby's size and her fluid levels, but everything looks great. The fluid levels were fine and the Baby is measuring in the 40th percentile for weight at 6lbs 13 oz. So it looks like everything is right on target. The tech (who we had for our 20 week) was so nice (again!) and gave us a few 3D pics. Needless to say, it was a bit complicated because the Baby kept putting "his" (no we don't know if it's a he or she) hands in front of his face and wouldn't move to get a close look at "his" face, but we got some good side view pics and saw the face, which is so adorable!

The Final Count Down....14 days to D Day

Well Alison had another Drs appointment today. Her blood pressure was good as usual and weight was the same. The baby's heartbeat was back up today at 153 beats per min, so it decided to be awake for today's visit. Again there was not much progress in the way of labor...this kid knows a good thing, I guess. Alison does have to go for another ultrasound. The doctor wants to check the baby size and make sure her fluid levels are okay. So we're excited that we get to see the baby one more time before it makes it's entry into the world. Alison's next appointment is Monday for her 39 week check up. We'll keep you posted!

37 weeks and counting.....

Well Alison had her 37 week check up today, which proved to be a bit frustrating for her. She has made no progress in two weeks. Baby has dropped a little, but not enough, and no dilation and still 50% efface. The Dr said we need to get this Baby moving...Alison's thoughts, "Really don't you think I want that. "LOL! The heartbeat was the lowest it's been since hearing it at 132, so this kid is blowing every wive's tale theory out of the water. Good news is Alison's weight has leveled off and she hasn't put anything on for 2 weeks, her blood pressure is good too. Now we just eagerly await Aiden or Gabrielle to make some progress towards labor and show up soon, preferably within the next 3 1/2 weeks.
