We had a 3D ultrasound earlier this week and it was pretty amazing to see! She did a few measurements to see how big he is and let's just say he is not going to be a small baby. Right now he is weighing almost 5lbs, coming in at 4lbs 14 oz. I knew he was big but not that big. She did a few bone measurements too and his femur is measuring at 35 weeks and I am 31 weeks today. He is head down already, sitting right on my bladder. I literally go to the restroom every hour and get up 4 times at night. We are very grateful to be in this situation no matter what size he is. The good thing is I get to see him again next week for a growth scan at my dr. office. I need to post another belly pic so you can see the size of this thing, it's huge! 2 people have asked me if I am having twins. Makes me so happy about our decision on only putting in 1 embryo, not that I don't think about that other embryo all the time!
Let me update a little about my weight gain, well, I have gained 25lbs already and counting. My OB thinks I will gain 40lbs. I don't feel like I eat any more, in fact I know I am eating less. It so hot in AZ that we don't make meals at night, we eat pretty light. Oh well, it will be a fun challenge getting back into shape before the next FET.
That 3D ultrasound must be so cool! I have to look into that. Glad to hear you have such a healthy boy in there - that's wonderful! I know what you mean about feeling huge. I have gained 18 lbs already, and I am only at 20 weeks! I don't even want to think about where I'll be at 31 weeks!
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you, we'll be seeing that big boy soon enough now!
Whoa baby, you have a grower in there! I love hearing the estimated weight of babies that are just a little ahead of our boys so I can anticipate how big they might be by the next ultrasound- though I have a feeling these little guys will be tiny in comparison to your big healthy boy :) I'm looking forward to following along with your pregnancy for the next several weeks and also once your little guy arrives!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a big boy!! Looking forward to hearing his size at the next ultrasound. He's bigger than my boy (he measured about 4.5 lb last Fri) and I'm almost 35 weeks!
ReplyDeleteI wish my office would do growth scans. I have no idea how big this one is--other than that she is measuring on track. Congrats! Can't wait to hear how much bigger you/he get.
ReplyDeleteA big, healthy boy - perfect :-)
ReplyDeleteHe's going to be a big boy! I bet you are all baby! I'm still gaining in my 40th week when I thought it was supposed to slow down. about 36 lb overall. I hope he comes on time, so he's not too big :) I hear you on the bladder front - it's pretty ridiculous and it just gets worse as you go along. Maybe he will shift positions - Did you get a picture of his little face?
ReplyDeleteHey that sounds great! He may come early then if he's full grown sooner. Enjoy the last few weeks..can't wait for more belly pics!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! That is a big baby!! I'm so glad things are going so great Krista! So happy for you! xo
