Well today was the glucose test and it was nothing. I am not sure what some of my friends were talking about, saying it was horrible. I drank the orange liquid, sat in the waiting room for an hour, had blood drawn and it was over. Oh well! So after my blood work I went upstairs to see Dr. Macey. Just a regular check. So he comes in and asked the usually questions, how do you feel, no cramping, spotting, etc... I am feeling good. So he says well we will check the heart rate (148) and measure you (my uterus). So I lay back and he says let's measure this little guy. I said " I do not think he is that little if it is anything like last time". So he has this ruler things and he starts somewhere around my belly button and measures down to somewhere around my pubic bone, I guess. He measured it and then he looked to make sure he was measuring from the right spot (or that is what it seemed like). He did that three times. Then he looked at my chart. He said I need to look at your cervix so undress from the waist down and I will be back in a minute. So he came back, checked me out and said all looked good. He wanted to make sure my cervix was not thinning yet. He said he wanted to see me back at 28 weeks for an ultra sound. I said ultra sound? he said yes and then he said he did not want me to worry, but I was measuring 30 weeks!!! he said Cole was not that big, but I was carrying high, which sometimes made you measure earlier, so he just wants to double check and get a more accurate reading on how big he is. So I said 5 weeks, and he said no, I want you to come back in 3 weeks, but schedule an ultrasound for 5 weeks!
I knew my belly was really sticking out there, but 30 weeks!?! Holy Moly.
I am not worried. I know everything is good. Dr. Macey was not concerned, but he did say he just want to keep a closer check on him and how he is growing!! So I will let you know how my big boy is doing. Here is a picture to check him out! We truly hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. I know we will. We have truly been blessed.
