First, we went to our OB who gave me my 35 week check-up. The eat more, gain more mentality paid off! In two weeks, I had gained three pounds and my fundus measurement was up. All good news! We spoke with the good doctor and he said that things looked good with me, but Evan's measurements were more important. So, off we went to the perinatologist for an ultrasound.
The sonographer came in and scanned me and while she was looking at Evan she pointed out that he was practicing his breathing techniques for his big debut. It was amazing to see his little abdomen rising up and down. The tech said, "Yep, breathing like a champ!" Good boy, Ev!!! We are already SO proud of you! :)
The best news of the day was when the doctor came in to scan me (Yay for double the peeking time at the specialist's office!). He was very pleased with what he found. Evan's abdomen has expanded by 6% points - from 18%-24%! He was really surprised our little one made that much progress in two weeks! So, our guy can hang out for another two weeks, at least. Then, will be going back for another follow-up to check on him again. Here's to six more percentage points! Oh, and I still get to keep eating all I want! :) Doctor's orders!
We are so thankful that he is growing and thriving! We love you Evan!
yay! i know that news was sooo relieving to hear! He's going to be a perfectly healthy sweet baby boy, just keep eating...and I'll keep drinking the gallon a day of water i am supposed to drink, and we'll get these babies here safely :) I am praying for you guys and your sweet baby!
