My doctor's appointment went well. He's definitely still a HE! No question about that. LOL! =) He's measuring a little over a week larger than my actual due date. His estimated weight is 4lbs 14oz. He's almost a 5lb boy already! He's in the 74th %tile for his size! He's definitely going to be big! I told Britt on the way to the doctor that I wish that the sonographer would just turn on the 3D/4D machine for just a few seconds so that we could get a good look at him. Well to my surprise, she told us that she was going to turn on the 3D machine to let us have a better look at him, but unfortunately he wasn't very cooperative. He had his hands in front of his face the entire time. We didn't get one good picture of his face........Little STINKER!
After the sonogram I had a non-stress test. They hooked me up to a monitor with wires to measure movements in my uterus and his heart-rate. I was hooked up for about 30 minutes. Every time that he moved I had to press a button. The point of this test is to make sure that his heart-rate goes up with his movements and then comes back down when he's lying still. He moved the ENTIRE TIME! The doctor came in and chuckled. He said that usually there will be a few movements through the test, but rarely THAT MANY! =) No worries though...........He told me that we just had one very healthy baby! That was great news! Starting next week I have to go back 2 times a week, every Monday and Thursday, for this non-stress test! =( FUN FUN! My blood pressure was a little high today, but he wasn't too concerned about it yet. He told me that they would just keep a check on it. All in all everything looked great! He told me that they would not let me go past my due date, so at least I don't have to worry about going past April 14th! I really believe that he's going to come early. He's already head down, so he's in the right position whenever he does decide to make his Grand Appearance.

Wow, he's going to be a good sized little boy! Stinks that you didn't get a good look at his little face.
I am glad everything went well!
