The only negative of the visit was that I haven't gained any weight or grown any since the last visit (I was sorta happy about this after already gaining 41 lbs). The doctor was a little worried, and went ahead and ordered an ultrasound to check the fluid levels just in case. I was so happy that we were getting an ultrasound that it didn't dawn on me that if wasn't for a good reason. I felt really confident that nothing was wrong though. Monty moves ALL the time, there really isn't any part of the day that I don't feel him wiggling around or trying to stretch.
During the ultrasound they measured his head, stomach, femur etc. and after all the measurements were taken the computer "estimated" that Monty was 8lbs, 12 ounces........all I could say was "Oh My God". After my reaction, the doctor sorta laughed and said "Well he is probably more around 8lbs right now" and she thought that the estimate was a little high. Soon after wards though she replied "Well you do have a really long torso and sometimes you tall girls hide big babies really well." So, I almost felt okay about the weight until the end part. As long as he's healthy I will be happy, I figure its going to hurt giving birth whether he's 7 lbs or 10 lbs.
Picture's of me at 38 weeks, +41 lbs!!!!
