Little baby
This little baby sure likes to keep things interesting. Today was my first appointment with the doctor and I was excited because I was not going to have to do anymore non-stress tests since I was past 36 weeks. This appointment was just supposed to be for signing the consent form and listening to the baby's heartbeat and such. Well the first thing the doctor did was measure my uterus which ended up measuring at 28-29 weeks. However, I am 37 weeks on Sunday!! She asked when the last time we did a growth scan was (2 weeks ago) and decided I needed to get another one to check on the baby. She did that and he is measuring in the 23rd percentile...which isn't crazy small, but they are just concerned because he keeps lagging further and further behind. Last time he was in the 33rd percentile. She sent me in to do a non-stress test to check on him, and he passed like ALWAYS. So now I wait until next week and I believe they are going to do another growth scan to check him again. She didn't say what they are planning on doing at all. She just said, "Hopefully with what is going on he just comes early." My mom and I think that she wants that so she doesn't have to make any decisions. On Wednesday I was having lots of contractions like 6 minutes apart and some closer so I took my medicine to stop them since Todd was in CA for the week. I did not want to have this baby while he was gone. Now that he gets back tomorrow (Sat. morning) I will welcome this baby into the world :) I think he is getting confused on if he should come out or not. I keep telling my family how funny/slightly annoying it will be if I end up having to be induced at 41 weeks and he is like an 8 lb. baby when this whole time they have thought he will come early and be small. So we will see!! I wouldn't put it past him as, like I said before, he likes to keep things interesting. 4 weeks and 1 day at the most until he is out of me.
