we went for an ultrasound and a doctor's appt thursday and friday and we're right on track. both are still head down...yay!! he is 3 lbs 5 oz, 53rd percentile and heart rate of 144. She is 3 lbs 3 oz, 47th percentile and heart rate of 155. apparently, he's got quite a large head and long legs - just like his dad! it blows my mind that collectively i've got 6.5 lbs of baby in my belly right now!! so if you're questioning the accuracy of the weight, so was i...what i was told is that at this point in time, they believe the margin of error is only 10-15%. but as they get bigger that margin does increase.
the one minor concern they had was that there was a little more fluid in his sac than hers, so i need to go back for a follow up ultrasound next week. she thought that might indicate that i had gestational diabetes, but my glucose test came back negative so that's not the case...thankfully! or she did say it could very well be a one-off, so hopefully she can confirm that next week!
i'll keep you posted...

About Me
- karen lawless
- I am not the most creative of sorts, but thought this was a great way for family and friends to keep abreast of things going on with jason and i. it's so hard to keep in touch with everyone these days. i've had many friends create their own family blogs and love visiting their sites for updates whenever i get the chance. it's a great mechanism for staying connected with them, even if indirectly! i'm not making any promises as to how often i'll be updating, but promise to do my best!
