3rd Trimester Sonogram

September 13th I went to see Dr. Webster and had my 3rd trimester sonogram. Well, it looks like he is going to be a big boy. He is defiantly measuring big at this point I didn't get any exact measurements, don't ask me why I just wasn't thinking, but his head they are saying is measuring big but so did his leg bone. I am at 31 weeks and and she said he is measuring 3 weeks ahead. He is not abnormal and there are no signs that there is any problems so that is a relief he is just defiantly a Schmitz boy...big just like his daddy. His heartbeat was at 144 bpm which is very good she said.

Here is Logan's latest picture it is hard to make out too much but during the sonogram he was opening and closing his mouth and trying to suck his thumb it was soooo cute!

Dr. Webster did not change my due date she said that I am right on track and when we are a couple of weeks out we will do some more measurements and if she feels he is too big to deliver vaginally then we will discuss other birth options then...YIKES! Right now he weighs between 3.8 and 4.8 lbs and she was thinking he could easily be a 9 lbs baby.

My blood pressure was normal and I gained 1 lb for a whopping grand total of 10 lbs, yep that is the total I have gained since I got pregnant. I was quite shocked when she told me that I thought for sure it was going to be a lot more then that especially now since it seems I can't get enough to eat lately.

Since my last blog entry Joel and I have been to 2 childbirth classes and we have 2 to go. I think they are very informative and a little intimidating Joel doesn't really like going but he has been great and even though he feels silly and embarrassed to do some of the massage and breathing exercises he has tried and that is all I can ask I really do love him. They of course showed the scary natural birth video the first night and that freaked me out a little. I am planning on having an epidural but holy crap that looked painful! I would love to do it natural but I am no hero and after that incident with that pesky little kidney stone I don't think I would be able to endure that kind of pain for hours. They talked about when to come to the hospital and there is just a lot to remember and I know when it actually happens I will forget everything that talked about.

My 32nd birthday was on Sept 7th and Joel and I went to the Ranger game with a lot of the other Irving firefighters and their families. We had a lot of fun. This year's birthday was pretty low key. Here we are at the game.

My next appointment is on Thursday, September 27th so more news to follow.
