Here's the report:
We are 32 weeks and 3 days along.
Max is measuring at 34 weeks and 1 day (so he's big).
He's estimated to be about 5.5 lbs right now, and should gain about half a pound every week until then - that's FOUR more pounds! There's a very good chance he'll be as big or slightly bigger than
Patrick was (born at 9 lbs 3 oz).
Max is 'frank breech' right now (I felt him turn into this position a few days ago and was kind of afraid they might say that). That means if he were to come out today he'd be coming out bottom first and his head and feet are up at the tippity-top of my belly. Apparently there isn't much outside of wive's tale sorts of remedies for this, but I intend to try some of them. There's still plenty of time for him to turn around, and the vast majority of babies will turn before they are born. If need be, I'll have the doctor turn him because I really don't want to have a C-section!
The ultrasound tech seems to think he'll have a significant head of hair.
Max had a good heartbeat and everything looks perfectly healthy!
This was our LAST appointment in Silver Spring with our great doctors at Capital Women's Care. The next doctor's appointment we have will be in New York! It's already scheduled for July 7th.
Last but not least - here are some pics!
