baby update

hello little face...
chubby cheeks already!
These are 32 week 3D shots from a quick ultrasound a week and half ago. I had another one on Monday. Here is where we stand.  Whit has been measuring in the 97th  percentile and had the Dr's scared so... even though I passed my 1 hr. glucose test I had to take the 3 hr. one b/c the little rascal was measuring so darn big and they wanted to rule out diabetes as a cause (I passed. Woo-hoo).  This week he is measuring in the 67th  percentile which everyone was happy to see especially me since I'll be the birthing vessel (I aint havin' no 10 lb baby people)!  My cervix is measuring much shorter this week which in a normal pregnancy would warrant bed rest but since I'm already a pro at that, no problem. I was told I could go off bed rest on Sat. of this week but may choose to do another week of taking it easy since my track record says as soon as I go do any substantial walking, I'm having a baby. So here we are, almost 34 weeks, choosing an extra week of bed rest for the safety of the baby AND my mom (because we all know that it's tournament time and March Madness baby and I would never go have a baby and go messing with that! ;) p.s. GO BYU women!

That is the benefit of all this bed rest... you get to see your little one way more often! You tell me if more ultrasounds is worth being on bedrest... :o) I would love to do the 3D one comin up here, but we'd have to pay extra and don't know if we'll do it. Glad your little man is starting to even out size-wise! 10 lbs is a scary number! Just a few more weeks for you... you can do it!!
