Everything is good with me. My blood pressure was 102/62 and I'm around 157 lbs.
Everything is good with the baby too. His heart rate was a strong 148 bpm and his head is down. However, he's measuring a bit large. Averaging out everything that they measure during the ultrasound (his head, abdomen, etc), his size is more like 35 weeks (rather than 33 weeks, 1 day). His weight is estimated at 5 lbs, 14 oz which puts him in the 82nd percentile. If he puts on the expected 1/2 lb per week and I make it to 40 weeks, he'd be 9 lbs, 6 oz! I met with the nurse practitioner today and she said that anything over 9 lbs is when they start preparing you for a possible c-section since a vaginal delivery may not be possible. Since it's still several weeks until my due date, I'm scheduled for another ultrasound in 4 weeks to check on the baby's growth again.
The ultrasound tech was nice today and switched over to the 3-D imaging for a little bit. Here are a couple of pictures of the little guy ...
And, he's still a boy ...
