We are one week shy of being considered full term! At times this pregnancy has seemed to go by incredibly fast, while other times it has seemed to go by so slowly! I had my 36 week check up & sono yesterday. Before we started the sonogram I had everyone guess how big they thought the baby was right now... So far Jeff has been dead on with gender and baby size! He guessed 7 lbs.. the sono tech's estimate after the measurements were taken was 7lbs 5oz & 19 inches long! I know the estimate can be a pound or so off in either direction, but it doesn't look like I will be having a dainty little one this time around! Then again neither Chloe or Hannah were tiny babies!!! Unfortunately I didn't get any cute little pictures to post b/c I have a stubborn child who refused to "look at the camera"!
Unfortunately, there were some issues that appeared during my check up. #1 baby moved from being head down to transverse (laying sideways) & #2 my BP jumped to 152/92. So I am under orders not to overdo it & to go back on Monday for another check up. Dr Steidl will check to see if the baby has moved at all and if my BP has come down. There was no protein in my urine so that is good, but the spike in BP is a bit worrisome to me!
So for those inclined to do so I would appreciate your prayers for proper baby positioning & for my BP to go back to normal.
