Weighing in at 34 weeks...

We went in for another sono on Friday and he is measuring about 5 lbs 9 oz. At least that is what they tell us. That means he grew just a little less than a pound in the last 2 weeks. It also means he is in the 41st percentile for his fetal age. This is good. It means he is not growing at an alarming rate (so far) and the insulin is working (so far... we have had to increase it quite a bit here and there) and keeping everything functioning the way it should be. It is looking more and more like we may have an average sized baby!!! This is exciting for me being that the last baby I had was 8 lbs 13 oz... oh, and that I was at about this point in my pregnancy when I had her!
The doctor had mentioned the other day that she was going to let me go all the way up to my c section date to make sure he is as healthy as he can be and his lungs are fully developed. In all honesty, at this point I wish they had done the same with Karsen and just planned a c section instead of inducing me early and making me end up cesarean anyway... I think her asthma stems from her early delivery and I want to make sure he has healthy lungs all throughout his life!!!
We still are not set on a name! I'll keep posting as more stuff happens!!!
