Hi Baby Boy! Sorry, I didn't get any pictures, but I did get to see him. The doc that did my "big" ultrasound at OSU OB recommended that I get monthly u/s. I wasn't sure if they would start this week or around week 28, so I was pleasantly surprised when they took me back to the u/s room when I went to my appointment today.

Doc said that he looks good. He was head down during the appointment. It was weird having her scroll up above my belly button so she could get a look. This was my 4th u/s this pregnancy and everything has been below the navel, so it just took me back a minute to realize how far along I really am. She measured him and he is just under 50th-percentile for weight. Head measured big and tummy and femur measured pretty close to right on (figures, huh? ). I didn't pay attention too much to the exact dates, I was just relieved that she said all looked good. I figure he'll change a lot more in the next few months.

I go back on March 10th for my reg. appointment and get an u/s then too. I have to do my glucose test then. I don't like that one.

But then after that appoinment I start going every 2 weeks. Is that the normal time or another one of those "you're older than dirt so we'll monitor you more closely" things? It just seems early to be starting every two weeks.

At 32 weeks, I start going weekly for non-stress test - which I know is an age thing.

Anyway, I was thrilled to see baby boy again and excited that I had a good appointment. Thanks for listening to me ramble about the appointment!

p.s. Maybe it was because I wasn't sure I was having an u/s this time around, but for the first time I didn't get nervous or worked up before an appointment. The last u/s I didn't sleep the night before, woke up, threw up, cried and then finally went to the appointment. It is amazing how reassuring these kicks are! :thumb

Yay!! I am so glad you got a great surprise today at your appt! I love seeing the baby inside of me, I don't get to see her agian until April 4th so I have to wait a while before I see her again but that's ok.

I am glad that you baby boy is looking so good too.
I don't know when others start going every 2 weeks but my Ob starts those at 32w for me and then it's not until 36w that I go in every week.

Hooray for surprise u/s's!!!! I think I'm supposed to start every 2 week appts after my next regularly scheduled appt in March. Not sure if it's age related or not, but I'll take it. I was HR due to BP issues with Ava and had 2 week appts all the way through - boy did I get spoiled to that. I had one full month wait out of all of it and that was a killer. Glad things were looking good on your little man!

I thought it started every two weeks at 28 weeks...but maybe it was 32 weeks...then at 36 weeks you go once a week. I thought for sure it was 28 weeks because it seems like alot of appointments LOL

Congrats on getting to see him and glad that things look good!

The day you deliver, outside will be warm. Your baby will arrive in the evening.After a labor lasting approximately 5 hours, your child, a girl, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 8 pounds, 15 ounces, and will be 17-1/2 inches long. This child will have blue eyes and dark hair.

How exciting for you that you got to see him again.
