Jones update

Jones is not only an accomplished acrobat and kickboxer, he is also apparently quite the looker even at 29 weeks.

I had my scheduled 28 week dr. apt. on Tuesday. All is perfect! I am still on the meds, but will be off on Sunday. Jones' heartbeat was 140 bpm, I had gained 3 more lbs and my blood pressure was perfect. And I passed my glucose test with flying colors. I had an irrational fear that I would fail. This is accompanied my my irrational fear of have a c-section and my water breaking in public. One fear gone, two left. My doc said everything is going smoothly - praise God! The only hick-up has been this minor UTI, so I have zero complaints about this pregnancy.

When he told me he would see me in two weeks my heart stopped for a brief moment. I can't believe that it is already time to see the dr. every two weeks. It has flown.

On to the fun stuff: I went to Jackson to finish up my registry and to get a 4D sono of the little man. The first thing we all noticed was his cheeks. Oh how I love a chubby baby and it looks like he already has such kissable cheeks. He also has the cutest little button nose. During half of the sono he was sticking out his tongue or sucking his bottom lip, which appears to be full and also kissable. All in all, just precious and perfectly healthy.

And he has completely caught up in size. He was measuring almost 2 weeks after the due date, but no longer. he is packing on those lbs and doing great. In fact, he measured almost exactly to the due date, weighs 2 lbs and 7 ounces and is in the 45th percentile. And big news: he is head down. Not that it really matters at this time, but this helps ease my fear of having a c-section. I was convinced he was kicking me in the bladder. Not the case. He is just throwing punches down there. Fabulous.

I asked for the techs to please check and make sure he is still a he. One tech announced that those things just don't fall off, but still - I needed confirmation. He is, in fact, still a boy, by the way. And proud of it.

I don't have the digital images of Jones' 4D, but will try to get the hard copies scanned so I can share.

I just confirmed to myself that I am already an obnoxious mother.
