Husband and I had another sonogram this morning so I thought I'd provide an updated for those interested peeps.
While I'm still measuring on-time (with the tape thing), apparently we have a big baby. Uno was weighing in at a whopping 3 lbs, 8 oz this morning and is currently in the 75th percentile for weight at 28 weeks, 4 days. All I could hear in my head when I heard that was "Fatty, fatty, 2 by 4, can't fit through the"...never mind. The doc said that while Uno is big, he/she is not as big as some pre-gestational diabetics who are in the 90th percentile and also mentioned that the baby would be taken at 38 weeks. HOLY CRAP! This is the perinatal doc, not my normal OB but I would imagine that their views are one and the same. Um...that means that my due date would be around July 20-21 rather than August 3-4. In all honesty, this gives me immense relief b/c I have been fretting about the official due date thinking that I was going to have to bring home a 12 lb running back that wouldn't fit in any newborn clothes, would outgrow the car seat within a week and would eat Husband and I out of house and home! I'm also very glad that my parentals decided to cancel the cruise they were planning on taking to Russia this summer as they would have gotten back around July 23rd. I know, completely selfish but what if I need my mommy?!?
We also got a 4D ultrasound this morning which was completely unexpected and the docs office recorded the session for us on a DVD. VERY cool. We can actually see our kid's face. It's amazing what technology can do these days. I'll see if I can post pictures but Uno was hiding behind his/her hand for 1/2 the pics and had his/her face pressed up against the placenta (gross, I know) for the shots that they gave us so they're not the entire face unobstructed but you can get the general idea.
That's all I have for now.
