Down to the weekly
We went to the doctors yesterday to get my pelvic. The doc last week said that McKinsie could do the exam, but the doctor forgot, and I was a little distracted during the exam ;). There hasn't been much progress from the last exam except his head is continuing to drop. Rapidly. The sonographer was surprised how low he was. I'm 36 and a half weeks so the baby should be measuring 36-37. However he was measuring at 33-34 so doc was a bit concerned. She had us get an ultrasound to make sure he is growing OK. Everything looked good though. Turns out I'm just "long bodied" which gives him a little extra room to grow. (he's predisposed to being a small baby anyway) His head is also already so low that the measurements outside of my belly weren't accurate. We were very shocked by his measurements. He should be about 6 lbs but he was measured at 5 lb10 oz. We also found out he has an Oblad head with the Miranda body. (poor kid) His head measured at almost 38 weeks; while his body and legs at 34 weeks. Poor guy is gonna have a giant head and itty bitty body. It was like my nightmare where the baby came out with an newborn's body but Mike's full adult head. EEK! ;) He's perfectly healthy so far though, which is all that matters!
