31/32 week appointment
I had another appointment this morning (31/32 weeks). My doctor was out-of-the office today, but I had another growth scan and saw one of the other doctors in the practice. I can't believe how the boys have grown! (Well, I can because I feel it, but its just hard to believe.) Both boys are still head down, but Isaac has moved down below Hunter, so it is looking like Isaac will be born first. Isaac now weighs 3 lbs 9 oz and Hunter weighs 3 lbs 15 oz, so I'm already carrying around 7.5 lbs of baby! I was surprised that they weighed that much... especially since there are 2 in there because babycenter estimates babies (singletons) at 31 weeks to weigh about 3.3 lbs! So, everything looks good! I got a few 3D shots because the tech couldn't get a good picture of Isaac's face in 2D because of how he was laying. I will try to get them scanned and uploaded this evening to share. So, other than that, the doctor reviewed my blood sugar readings and said that they look great, so that is a huge relief that the diet is maintaining the levels. She also said that my blood pressure and weight and everything looked good, and my cervix is still holding up well! I must say though, my weight gain doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason... in the past 3 weeks, I've only gained 1 lb. At my previous appointment, I had gained 8 lbs in 3 weeks. Oh well, the boys are obviously growing good so I'm not going to worry about it. If you made it this far, sorry it is so long.
