32 WEEKS!!! DID YOU CATCH THAT!

Wow today has been an interesting day. I had my US today and we are having a BOY! Apparently a BIG BOY!! hahaha.. they said he's fat. At the beginning of my pregnancy my due date was 9-21-2009. My first US the baby measured a week behind. So my midwife decided to change my due date to 9-28. I was SOOO bummed. In pregnancy time a week later felt like several months. Seriously.... I am NOT being dramatic. So anyway, I have questioned it since she changed it. I have compared this baby's US to Brody's and he has always measured a little bigger, and even been more developed at times then Brody was. So anyway I have noticed on a few of my papers since I changed clinics that they had my original due date written down. I started to wonder what IS my due date? So today I discussed it with the US tech. It was an interesting US because she measured the baby and he currently weighs right around 4lbs 13oz. She did say that this could be off a little but she thought it was fairly accurate. This measurement puts the baby measuring at 33 weeks!! WOW!! Even for 33 weeks he is still a little big. After reviewing my information LMP, all of my Ultrasounds, etc. They told me that they feel my due date is 9-21. My midwife said she is surprised that the midwife would have changed the original date since the ultrasound was off only by 6 days. She said that it's not uncommon for the first ultrasound to vary 5-7 days. If it was more significant they could see changing the original due date but she felt that 9-21 was probably pretty accurate. SOOOOO I have skipped a week, well not really but it kind of feels that way. My due date is now 9-21 and I am 32 weeks!!! WAHOOOOOOOOO..... ** running around carefully doing the happy dance.*** 

As far as having a boy goes... I am really excited. The tech said she was 100% confident we are having a boy. :) It looked pretty obvious to me too. There was one shot of US that was so cute. It was of his face and the umbilical cord was by his face and head so it was hard to see his whole face but you saw just his lips and noise. It was cute because he literally looked like he was pouting. It was one of the cutest pouts I've ever seen. Now I start going to the clinic every two weeks and then once I hit 36 weeks I will be going every week. It's really hitting me how fast it's coming and I can't wait to be done being pregnant and holding this darling boy... I AM HAVING A BOY! YEAH. Also we put his crib together this weekend. It feels good and weird to see a crib in Brody's room next to his toddler bed. However, I like that its becoming more real. All that to say it was a good day, and a good visit. Everything else looked great. The heartbeat was 150 bpm.
