At the most recent check-up, Dr. Zawacki wanted Heather to go to the hospital the next day for an ultrasound. Being at 39-weeks along, she wanted to make sure that BW had enough amniotic fluid for the next week or two.
So today, we made the trip to SWMC. The ultrasound technician, Michelle, had worked with Heather in X-ray a few years back. Michelle lubed up Heather's tummy, and started probing around. BW had been sleeping, but woke up with all the poking going on. First to get looked at was the cranial measurement, followed by the leg and arm ... and she also checked out the heart and bladder (which was full). She tried to get a good look at baby's face, but BW was being a shy baby, keeping an arm in the way the whole time.
Everything was in normal limits, including the amniotic fluid. The measurements did show that this might be a bigger-than-average baby ... the current reading was 8 lbs 2 ounces. And that's with 1 or 2 weeks to go! She also measured BW's gestational age at 39 weeks 1 day, so we are right on target there.
