I am a little behind on posting, as I am now nearing week 28.
Here is a little profile.
This is a lovely shot of the baby's spine.
And here is a foot. Which the doctor said looked big.
Hahaha. Of course it has big feet!
The doctor also said that the baby's head was in the 94th percentile for size and that at 26 weeks the baby was measuring at the size of a baby at 28 weeks.
So, this could end up being a very big kid if it keeps growing at that pace.
Other baby news, well really mommy news:
I passed the glucose test, which means I am NOT developing gestational diabetes.
I have, however, become mildly anemic since the last round of blood tests. This just means I need more iron, which can be fixed with one little pill a day.
The baby does have some dilation in the kidney, which means there is fluid there that should not be.
The perinatalogist said that in most cases this clears up before delivery. In the cases where it does not, there are some different treatments for it.
I am trying not to worry too much about that now, and just hoping it does indeed clear up before delivery.
Anyway, it means I will be going back to the perinatalogist in November for another ultrasound.
As the doctor put it, "I am looking forward to seeing how big that baby is by then!"
