35 Week Check Up

Everything looks great! James is cooking along just fine :). The fluid measured around 8 on the index today so there is nothing to worry about there.

The ultrasoundographer measured him today. Their estimate is that he weighs 5lbs 10oz right now. This sounds large, but it puts him in the 45th percentile and just average for babies! Dr. Straughn said that based on this estimate the most he should weigh at birth is 8lbs. This is a relief...I was worried we'd have some gigantic baby. No big surprise though, his head is measuring large. A week ahead and with a diameter of 9cm. This is apparently the same for all Machamers!

The ultrasoundographer told me that last week a baby was born in their practice with "ambiguous genitalia". This poor baby was born with only parts of both sex organs. He was typed as a boy. She told me all of this just to explain why she was looking for James's testicles. Luckily, we found them!

We had an amazing time in Maine for Tim's wedding. I will be sure to post pics when I get them up online. I am glad we were able to make the trip, but so glad that we are now home to wait on our precious baby boy :) Hopefully he'll come sooner than later, but that appointment sort of gave me the idea that he was taking his time!
