Rowan’s heart rate looks great. His fluid levels look awesome. He is doing everything he should be, placenta still looks good, head down and engaged and he weighs….
6 pounds and 11 ounces? Really!?!? At one point, one of the measurements that SHOULD have been reading around 35 weeks +/- a week or two read 39 weeks 5 days….
She measured again and his measurements would put him at the average size of a fetus at 37 weeks 5 days gestation. That’s consistent with the about 3 weeks ahead he has measured since we hit about 24 weeks.
No, I’m not diabetic. They checked.
No, the due date isn’t wrong. He was RIGHT ON measurement with his original due date until he hit 24 weeks and started growing like crazy…right around the time we found out about his heart defects and told him that he needed to grow big and strong so he could fight hard.
Guess he listened!
I cannot wait to meet him! We are hoping that I can manage to carry this big kiddo until at least 38 weeks, which would be December 2nd.
So NO ROOTING FOR NOVEMBER! NO getting excited about an early baby. He’s staying in as long as possible. Anybody hoping otherwise is not thinking about what is best for him and needs to readjust their thoughts/prayers/wishes so we’re all on the same page. Lots of thoughts for a December baby!
He’s going to get here, and he’s going to fight, and I cannot wait to hold him in my arms and tell him Happy Birthday.
