Well, I passed the GTT at 116 and passed the hemoglobin test - so no Rx for iron. Of course I've been taking OTC low dose iron for a little over a month, so I figured that would be ok.

U/S didn't work out for the 4D because although she was on the opposite side, she had cord all up in her face so no clear shot at all. He did get the measurements and she is measuring almost 2 full week ahead and weighs appx 3# 12 oz! She was doing her practice breathing this time, which last time he didn't see her doing.

Since she is measuring that much ahead, I will have one more 2 week appt, then I'll go to weeklies and have u/s's each time to keep an eye on the placenta. As long as it holds up we get to go to our date of June 23rd. But if it starts to break down, we may have to go earlier.

Oh yes, and my BP was an amazing 130/70!!! The best yet. But my weight was up by 5 pounds in 2 weeks. I blame it on all the funeral food. Got to get back to eating my fruits and veggies and stay away from all that starch and those homemade sweets!

YAY for passing and WooHOO for the bp. Too bad the cord was by her face. If its not her, its something else, lol. Glad to hear she is growing very well and is very healthy.

Im curious to find out what this lil bugger weighs around.

Btw, at my last appt, I gained 4.5lbs in 2 weeks. Its growth spurt time and the time when they really start to grow.

Congrats on the GTT and your BP! Too bad lil miss was not cooperating again today. She's not ready for her close up yet.

"They" say that it is common to gain 1-2lbs per week in the last trimester. I gained 6 in 4 weeks and didn't get yelled at this past time. So, I'm thinking that would be true.

Good weight gain on the baby and whoo-hoo on passing your labs. That is great.

I asked about weight gain on the baby - because with me still having 10 weeks left, that would be scary. He told me once you hit 32 weeks babies average about 1/2 a pound per week - unless mom is really packing in the calories. Even at that, Presley could weigh over 8 pounds. So I'm really going to watch what I'm eating and try to make healthy choices. My first OB never would let me lift/carry anything over 8 pounds after my c-sections and I'd hate to have a baby I couldn't comfortably/safely lift and carry just because I was stuffing my face with cookies and junk.

Mmmm. Cookies drool I'm with you--I watch what I eat and keep things in moderation, but certain foods are starting to sound reallllly good. I had ONE donut the other day and it was like heaven--I was able to limit myself and I call that a victory

That's great about passing the GTT and having good BP! Cohen was measuring ahead too at 20 weeks but that wasn't surprising since Kylie was 9 lbs 7 oz at birth. Big babies run in my side of the family. I am curious how he is measuring now but I doubt they will do another u/s unless they think it is really necessary at this point. I have my GTT this Thurs. and am hoping to have good results too but was borderline with Kylie so who knows how it will go. I am just at the point of wanting to get it over with now.

Sorry Presley was being stubborn and didn't give you any perfect shots but it's great that she is still doing well.
