Sono Stats

All good news!!  The baby and I are both doing great!  Here are the specifics from our appointment:

The placenta is in a good location.  It is away from the cervix, so we should have no problem having a natural birth (with medication of course).  ;)

The baby's kidneys look good.  They are going to have a specialist look them over just to make sure, but everything looked good and healthy.

Her other organs looks good as well.  Her brain looks good and is functioning well.  Her heart has blood pumping through both chambers.  Her stomach and bladder were full, meaning she is swallowing and her kidneys are working.  Everything looked good and healthy!  Hooray!

You may have noticed I'm still saying she...  Yes, I had them check again, just to make sure.  ;)  She's still a girl.  :P

She has hair already!  And enough of it that you could see it on the sonogram!  Can't wait to see just how much she has when she's born since she already has a lot.  I'm also interested to see what color it ends up being.  :)

She currently weighs 4 pounds 13 ounces.  This puts her in the 68th percentile for her size.  Based on these measurements, she is measuring 33 weeks and 6 days.  We are actually at 32 weeks and 4 days.  So she's measuring 9 days ahead.  Like I said a while back, I think she'll either come early, or be a big baby if she comes on time.  We will see...  Only 52 days to go!

Her heartbeat was 123 bpm.  I was surprised by this, because she's been consistantly in the 140's.  But I guess she was sleeping today.  :)  I was assured not to worry.  ;)

She is already head down and in position to go.  ;)  This explains all the pelvic discomfort I have been having.  :P  But head down is good news, just one more thing going the right way.  Praise the Lord everything has gone so well and her and I are so healthy!  :D

There was no protein, sugar, or signs of infection in the urine.  My blood pressure was good and consistant with where it's been for all of my appointments.  I gained 2.4 pounds, which is good.  That puts me up a total of 15.5 pounds for the whole pregnancy.  My doctor is happy with all my stats and the way I'm progressing.  :)

My doctor had me get another blood test done today.  At the beginning of my pregnancy my platelets were low.  At my 27 week glucose tests my hemoglobins were low.  So he had me go up today to get some blood drawn to see that those levels were normal and nothing to worry about.  As far as I can tell, those things are the final steps to overcome and we will be ready and cleared to go to the birthcare center for our delivery.  :)

I think that's all the info I have.  It was another great doctor's appointment!  :)  Very happy that our baby girl and I are doing so well.  Praying that the labor and delivery process goes as well as the pregnancy has.  :)  Thanks for tuning in!  ;)  I'll have more stats and info for you in 2 weeks when we see the doctor next.  :)
