33 Week Ultrasound

Yesterday we went for a follow up ultrasound. It seems that at our last ultrasound the doctor found that he had right renal pyelectisis. Come to find out that is a very fancy way of saying: The tube that connects to his right kidney was dilated slightly. At this ultrasound his kidney tube was still dilated a bit so the doctor will monitor it and is recommending that after Davis is born he should have an ultrasound to check on his kidney.This apparently is extremely common in boys and should correct itself before Davis is born. So we are relieved that there is nothing seriously wrong with our baby.

He is weighing in at 4 pounds 12 ounces. The ultrasound tech. called his head "Very Sizable" haha and his feet are 7 cm long! At this ultrasound he measuring about 11 days early...putting him due Feb. 2 and estimated to be about 9-ish pounds. Currently he is breech but they assure me there should be time to turn....I hope he does because he is stepping all over my bladder with those big feet! :) I'll keep you updated on our little kidney issue.

The photos are of his face all smashed up in my ribs! Since he is breech most of the fluid is at this feet making it difficult to get a good picture of his face.

Davis is 3 pounds of cabbage!

The past five weeks I've tried to be very careful about what I eat and do a lot of walking so that I do not gain unwanted weight. With that being said, I had a rather hostile parent conference...that ended with the parent saying "When are you due?" I replied back, "February". She said, "Wow, you are really big for how far along you are!" For the first time in my life I was speechless. In fact it took a while for it to even sink in. I walked over to my team partner and said..."Did she just call me fat?!?!" Cari said "I think so!" UGH- Nevertheless, I went to the doctor that afternoon for a check up and was extremely anxious about getting on the scale. I mean what if this woman was right? Needless to say I had only gained 1 pound in 5 weeks so I felt MUCH better. In fact I wanted to call the parent and let her know that I was not FAT!

As for Davis, he is healthy and growing bigger everyday! He weighs about 3 pounds this week and is laying across my stomach kicking my ribs. I will be going to the doctor every 2 weeks through December and then begin every week in January until he arrives. I can't wait to see him!
