30 weeks!

so because my blood pressure has been a little higher than normal at the doctors office (not when i take my readings at home though), the doctor had me go in for an ultrasound to check on chickadude's growth. hmmmmmm, it doesn't seem that growing is a problem for him! based on all the measurements they took, chickadude is almost 4 pounds!!! at 30 weeks the typical weight is at about 3 pounds. holy kaschmole, what do i have in store for me. i'm just hoping that they're estimating high on his weight. or maybe he just went through a growth spurt?!

and looking through all the images they sent home with me, i did a double take on the EDD and EDD (AUA)!!!! chickadude could maybe make an early appearance?! who knows.



as usual, chickadude had his hands up by his face pretty much the entire visit. getting a good profile took some gentle persuasion! he was definitely giving the ultrasound tech some good "hello" bumpsthough. :) it was cute because when he would 'bump' the instrument she would say "well hello to you too sir!" he'll probably change positions a million times before d-day, but it was reassuring to know that he was head down during the visit with his back curved up on my left side so his feet were over near the right side of me.

so all in all, things are going well. i'm growing, chickadude is growing and we're 3/4 of the way there!!
