So I went in for my appointment today and I was supposed to get checked for the position of the baby. Well, they checked the little guy and didn't think his head was where it was supposed to be, so they sent me for an ultrasound. Turns out the little guy has both of his feet up by his head and is trying to come out butt first. Not only is he breech, but the ultrasound lady measured my amniotic fluid, and that is low as well. Which I didn't think was a big deal until I looked it up on the internet at home. Turns out low amniotic fluid means no trying to turn the baby.
So funny news as well - my baby's head is huge! It was measuring in the 91-95-97th percentile everytime the ultrasound lady measured it. I could tell she thought that she was measuring wrong, but I know better. My nephew was born with the biggest head on this earth since the last baby elephant. So I know all about having huge headed babies, and it made me laught to know I am having a big head baby too. I also found our that the baby weighs 7lbs., 3 oz. right now. If I can keep him inside for another two weeks, he will be around 8 and a half pounds when he is born.
So I am waiting for my midwife to call me back to tell me what we are going to do now. According to the ultrasound, I am 38 weeks along. Whoa! I thought I was around 37 at most, and the midwife had me down at 36. So if this baby doesn't turn itself around in the next week, I might be getting my very first surgical scar in the next two weeks. Yippee!
So to the good news - I am thirty eight weeks! Only two - three more weeks of misery to go! Yippee! Also, I am hopeful that I will have the baby in June, while I am still covered by two insurances. No huge hospital bills to wipe out our savings! Starting July 1st, I only have 1 insurance. So having the baby in the next 13 days would be lovely!
On to other, less personal news. Patrick is expecting his big bonus from work next month. He is planning on spending it on a flat screen T.V. He spent a couple of hours on the internet researching it on Saturday night. He will be getting his bonus in the middle of July, but it will be interesting to see if he has time to even think about it if the baby is here already.
Our Minnesota refund arrived yesterday! We are just going to save it (Boring) but it is the responsible thing to do. We have lived in Minnesota for one year now. How exciting! Patrick will also get his raise soon, just in time for extra insurance for the baby to kick in! At least we aren't poorer!
