Well, our doctor appointment went fairly well...of course, we didn't get to leave with no worries, that would be impossible for this pregnancy, but nothing of great concern, at least yet. I started with the ultrasound. Everything looks great with Mr. Cooper. He is estimated to be 5 lbs. 10 oz. This is great because he is growing and sometimes Thyroid babies are growth restricted, so this is always good news!!! He is still heads down. YEAH!!! The ultrasound lady took pics of his heart and said they were pretty pictures, so I guess that means his heart is fabulous! Everything else looked normal. It is much harder to make out parts when he is this big. He did have his eyes open and was looking right at us. He also did some practice breathing for us and he was very active for this time of the day. Now...the worry part. My placenta is pretty low. She wanted to do a ultrasound where they stick the thing...well, you know where...so she could get a good picture of it. So, they did it and she said she felt better about it. Now for my doctor appointment...I lost 1 pound...my doctor said as long as the baby is growing then that is fine. I have seriously been eating more too. So I have gained 9 lbs., which is basically all baby and placents and fluid...so hopefully I"ll get back into those pre-baby clothes soon after birth. We talked about the results of the ultrasound and she said everything looked good. She said that the placenta is low, but she is comfortable with 4cm (I may be off on this). I asked her what happens if it is too low. She said basically the placenta can start to tear and bleed. She said they would keep track of it, but if it stays at 4cm then she is confident it will be okay. So, hopefully everything turns out okay. Please pray that my placents cooperates...it's so funny to pray for my placenta:)!!! Anyway, after that appointment I went in and got my blood work for my thyroid levels and then Hunter and I headed for McDonalds to celebrate!!!
Please continue to pray for good news and a healthy delivery. My next appointment is July 9th and then we start having weekly appointments. At my next appointment we will go ahead and schedule the induction date, but hopefully he comes a little sooner than that...as long as he is healthy! The end is getting closer, and that means time to start freaking out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here are some of the pictures from the sonogram...ENJOY!
