baby news

I went in for my monthly check up and my Dr. measured me at 28 inches. I am only 23 weeks along so this measurement indicates I might be over a month further along than we thought! I have another ultrasound scheduled for next week by Dr's orders to check out the baby, my fluid, and a few others things the Dr. wants to double check on about the baby. I was measuring 40 in. at 35 weeks pregnant with Jonathon so this actually doesn't surprise me, I just carry big and have extra fluid I think, I'm sure my due date will stay close to where it is in October unless the ultrasound proves otherwise. I have gained 15 pounds so far and have three long months to go, so, I need to take an easy on the ice cream and peanut bars I guess. We'll see about that. I gained almost the same amount at this time in my pregnancy with Jonathon, it's so amazing to me how identical this pregnancy has been with my pregnancy with Jonathon! They are going to end up looking like little twins I bet :)

They might keep the due date the same, but hey... who wouldn't like to deliver a month early?! Good luck with that!

I carry big too. I measured 40 in at 35 weeks with Alice and they were all in my face about gest. diabetes, so I did a few weeks of finger pricks and never had an unusual reading...it wound up to be a LOT of fluid, and a good size babe.
