Today's Appointment

Bobbie Jo had an appointment at the OB this morning. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it as I had to be at work today. I felt pretty bad, missing my first appointment.
The high points are these:
  • Bobbie Jo does not have diabetes
  • She has gained no "extra" weight and is looking great
  • The baby is growing faster than expected (there was quick mention of a 10 pound baby!), the baby is at 30 weeks, but her belly measures that he is the size of a 31 week old.
We were scheduled for another ultrasound 6 weeks from now (week 36) to check the baby out and see whether the delivery will be induced earlier than expected (no more than a week or so early). Bobbie Jo is small enough that the doc doesn't think that a giant baby would be good for her to deliver full term. We'll find out more at that time.

We are now scheduled for an appointment every 2 weeks. If all goes as planned we should only have 4 more appointments until the baby is due.

Things are moving fast!!
