And the Specialist says......

I saw the specialist today. He determined Hailey is measuring at 35 weeks and I definitely have excess fluid. He estimated her weight at 5lbs 11oz. Other than her being a big baby, he says she looks really good. All her organs look great and are functioning properly. She even yawned and stuck out her tongue during the ultrasound!! It was cute. I didn't get any pictures. =(

I was scolded for still working and he suggests I stop ASAP. He also says I should repeat the Glucose test even though I already passed the first one to determine if I have Gestational Diabetes. I hope this is not the case but it's a possibility,

He also said I really need to make it past 36 weeks so Hailey will not be considered premature. It's not that he thinks she will come before then but he says it's important that she does. I would be officially 36 weeks on September 6th. However, my prediction is that she will come in the middle. The 15th or 17th pop in my head!

Since she is big, it could make a vaginal birth difficult. Obviously my OB hasn't looked at my wide ass and big hips!! haha! But of course I will always go with what my OB says since he's the one with a medical degree.

Overall she looks great and there isn't much of a concern as long as I relax and stop running around like I do! Looks like our October baby will be a September baby!! Early little pumpkin!

These are of her face. One is a complete side profile and the other is the closest we got to seeing her whole face.

32 Week Belly picture

So here's my belly measuring 43 weeks when I am only 32 weeks!!

Big Baby AND Excess Fluid!

My doctor's appointment last week showed I am still measuring above average. I was 30 weeks and measuring 41 weeks. He decided I need to see a specialist for an ultrasound. Of course my insurance had to approve first!

I got a call today from his office stating that my insurance would not approve until he did an ultrasound first. So in I went. My belly, one week later, is now measuring 43 weeks! Hailey is measuring 34 weeks! I am officially 32 weeks tomorrow!! I do have a lot of fluid but not enough for him to be concerned. He now thinks she will come between September 17-September 27.

I will be monitored now and will have another ultrasound to determine her weight in a few weeks. He says this may make a vaginal delivery difficult but not impossible.

So it looks like Hailey will be an early pumpkin! My doctor also may take me off of work as early as 2 weeks from now after my next appointment!

Big baby or a lot of fluid?

At my last doctor's appointment my doctor made a comment about how big my belly is getting. Hearing that from him made me think, oh crap. I asked him if it was because she's a big baby or I have a lot of fluid. He said it's too early tell then (I was 26 weeks) but I kept growing at the rate I am he would do an ultrasound to determine.

If it turns out she is a big baby, he would not let me get to my due date. Whichs mean she can possibly be a September baby. I don't care either way as long as she comes out healthy!!

We can't wait to meet her! She moves around so much and it's so awesome. I am enjoying pregnancy even though I have my discomforts, it's all worth it in the end!!

Pregnant and Stuck in an Elevator

That definitely is not a good combo! I was stuck in the elevator at work for an hour the other day. It was quite amusing to me and was joking around about going into labor. It's a good thing I am not close to my due date! There was another lady and a child with me and we basically just sat there until the elevator company came to fix it.

I thought we were stuck in between floors but we were actually right at our destination. The tech opened the door s and there we were.

I am not afraid of elevators by any means so I did not panic and neither did the lady with me. We were just amused and extremely bored!
