Today we went in for my weekly check up with my OB. I am now 34 weeks and will be checked every week including an ultrasound to make sure that everything is progressing well. Matt went with me to this appointment, but unfortunately Rylie was not being very cooperative, so he had to take her outside and missed the ultrasound :( Everything with the ultrasound looked good in terms of amniotic fluid levels and growth. The baby is measuring a little over 5 pounds and in the 80th percentile. So we are estimating around 8.5 pounds at birth. I got to see the baby practice breathing on the ultrasound. It was amazing watching his little chest rise and fall in preparation for those first breaths he will soon take.
The next big appointment will be next Thursday afternoon when we will have a repeat fetal echo and meet with the surgeon. Matt and I already have a long list of questions for the surgeon and I'm sure will think of more as we get closer to that appointment.
On a different note, today was my last day at work. To keep myself occupied I have decided to potty train Rylie before the baby comes. We start tomorrow, so wish us luck :)
