31.5 weeks

We had our follow-up ultrasound yesterday.  We had to wait 2 hours for a 5 minute appointment - sheesh.  But, we got to see our baby (briefly) again.  He took some measurements and said the baby is measuring in at 4 pounds, 9 ounces.  Yikes!  He asked me how large my first baby was and I said 8 pounds, 11 ounces.  Then I said "why do you ask?  Is this baby looking large?" and all he said was "maybe".  Gee, thanks!  So, we may have another large one on our hands - we'll see!  Or maybe baby will come a little early - only time will tell!

The placenta is no longer an issue, so that's great!  That's why we needed the follow-up ultrasound since the one at 20 weeks showed the placenta low.  Well, it has moved up enough for me to be cleared for a regular birth instead of needing a C-section.  So, I am very relived about that.

Looking forward to a wonderful long weekend spent with family.  I love Thanksgiving!

Yay for the placenta being all good! Big babies are good too. :)
