Here's how it went:
Wt was up 3# this week...not too surprising after how I've been eating!! That puts my total wt gain so far at 28#. My tummy measured 34cm...still one week ahead. My BP was still fantastic...118/76! During the u/s the baby's HR was 128 bpm. During the NST, the HR ranged from 120-160 bpm. This time, she was sleeping and did NOT want to be disturbed. The tech spent some extra time trying to get her to wake up and move so she could measure the fluid and watch for the practice breathing again. She even had to break out the annoying buzzer. This gets placed right next to the tummy and is supposed to wake them. Even that didn't work. FINALLY, she proved to us that she could still do it (guess she's gonna be stubborn). My fluid was still on target. Today was also "growth" day, meaning they get an estimate of her weight. Um, she's already 5 lbs 6oz!!! And that explains the horrible back pain!!!
I got to my OB appt and she again said, "Baby looks great....are you tired of hearing that?" I said, "NO WAY". She said that if the baby continues in a normal pattern (gaining 1/2 lb per week) from here on out, we're looking at about 8 1/2 lbs!!! I guess that really shouldn't surprise me, Jacob was 8 lbs 13 oz!! I guess I just grow 'em big!
