27w5d- OB VISIT

Courtney had her 27w5d OB visit today.  The baby's heart rate is fine and seems to be growing as the belly continues to get bigger!  Typically, the baby has been measuring one week ahead, which puts her at 28w5d (close to 29, right?).......well, the belly measured 30 weeks!  Courtney only gained 1 lb. over the last two weeks (total weight gain is 21 lbs. so far) , so the baby must really be putting on the baby fat and getting longer!  Doctor doesn't seemed concerned but did decide to schedule an ultrasound to take another look.  The last OB ultrasound was at the 20 week growth scan. I think he wants to be certain how far along the baby is, since there will be an induction!  We don't want to have her delivered tooooo soon, nor do we want to go tooooo late and chance natural labor since Courtney has to time her last Lovenox blood thinner shot........ So next Tuesday, we will get another peek at the cutie pie!  Courtney's BP is 104/60 (YEA!), and cervix is long and closed :-)

Courtney's next OB visit will be on Jan. 20th!  She has been very lucky to have appointments every two weeks throughout this pregnancy.  While she was waiting for the doctor, baby Vaeh was doing a little tummy dance!  Courtney tried to record the movements with her cell phone, but no luck.  It is almost as if the baby knows someone is watching.....when watching, she stops moving!  DARN!

Courtney asked how many people can be in the delivery room and the doc replied....."As many as you want!".......WE LOVE THIS DOCTOR!  I just hope that we make the 7 hour drive in time to watch this little miracle enter this world!
