Our Doctor is Awesome!

Once she measured his growth progress (head, belly and leg), Dr. Figurova decided today to try the 3D again because our baby boy was in a better position. I think she might have been more excited than us to get another look. He was sleeping peacefully and didn't hardly budge the whole time. I hope that's a good sign for future sleeping once he's on the outside.

It's amazing that this...



...translates into this with the push of a button...







(The blob to his right is the placenta. It makes for a good pillow)

He's measuring now about a week ahead of schedule (mainly due to his head circumference.) The doctor measures his femur length, abdomen circumference, and head circumference separately and then looks at them together to get an estimate of how his measurements compare to an average. If he's with averages, he should be measuring at 30 weeks and 4 days. Based on his measurements, though, he's at 31 weeks and 5 days. Dr. F also estimates that he weighs 1735 g (3.8 lbs). Big boy. That would probably be why my belly has grown considerably in the last few weeks.



Dr. F also gave us another DVD of the 3D but it's taking forever to load. Hopefully, I'll have that up tomorrow.
