Hey everyone!!! We went in for our 33 week check up today and the dr. did an ultrasound. For all of you that thought I was having twins (I'm not), but our baby could account for 2! =) Baby Norwood weighs 4 lbs. today and that puts us a week ahead as far as weight goes for baby. Dr. said that Baby Norwood is in the 80th percentile, which means that our baby weighs more than 80% of all other babies at the 33 week stage. So...atleast we have a healthy baby! =) Dr. said that he/she could have just had a growth spurt or we could have an 8 lb or so baby. Let's hope for the growth spurt!
Dr. measured the amniotic fluid, the level is great (which shows kidneys are functioning very well). We also got to see the baby having hiccups during the ultrasound. She said that hiccups are an excellent sign of neurological development and that everything is developing correctly.
Currently this week the baby is breech. She said that most babies will continue to move till the 36th week, so she said no need to worry for now. She said there is plenty of amniotic fluid for baby to easily flip around. So we shall see if Baby Norwood will be easy or difficult.
The picture here is the best we could get. Baby Norwood was not cooperating very well so we only got a quick glimpse of him/her. I think that Baby Norwood looks like a little old man here! hehehe! In the picture you can see the forehead, eye sockets, nose, and fat cheeks. Can you make it out? I know, it's difficult...it's laying sideways in the picture. Good luck!
Dr. says we should see Baby Norwood in about 6 to 8 weeks! Hard to believe it's already here! Adam and I are so thrilled...we just can't wait!!!! =)
