Almost 35 Weeks

Today I spent the day at doctors' offices.  First I went to see the high risk OB and had an ultrasound.  As you remember last time Tanner was measuring 10 days ahead and weighed 4 pounds and 2 ounces.  I have since gone on a strict diet to try and keep my blood sugars down and keep him from growing too big.  Well, it worked.  He is now measuring exactly right (to the day) and weighs 5 pounds 6 ounces.  This is exactly where he should be!  His foot is rather large (see below).  It is almost 3 inches long.  He was "practice breathing" during the ultrasound.  It was so cute to see him breathing.  This is a great sign for the development of his lungs.  His head was SO low in my pelvis that it was nearly impossible to get a full picture of his face.  His poor little nose was smashed up against the uterine wall - poor little man.  That is why these pictures are not the best. 

I will have another ultrasound in 3 weeks and as long as he is growing as expected I will be induced on April 6th.  I cannot believe I am scheduled for an induction  - - - it is so real now.   I will be going to the doctor weekly now.  They will be doing a NST (non stress test) every time to make sure Tanner is developmentally sound.  And again, as long as all goes well we will have a baby on April 6th.  With him being so low already I won't be surprised if he decides to come on his own before then.  I want  him to stay in for 2 more weeks, then he can come whenever :)  After about 36 weeks his lungs are pretty well developed.  Obviously 38 + is better though. 

After that appointment I went to my regular OB and all checked out fine.  He was measuring a little behind according to her, but again we will recheck in 3 weeks.  I actually got to see my real doctor this time.  That is why she went ahead and scheduled my induction date so I for sure would be on her schedule.  I hope she is the one to deliver me, if I go on my own it could be any doctor in the group.  All of them are great, but I really like me doc of course. 
Enjoy the pics and I will report again next week!!!
