I am growing a chunky boy...

Dr's appointment went so good today!

Well I was WAY off....Jackson is estimated to weigh around 5.2 pounds.


He is one cute chunky monkey!!

Everything else looks good!!

-My fluid is a good level.
-He is head down.
- My doctor measured his leg bones and said they are mature. Leg bone maturity correlates to lung maturity. So my doctor thinks if I had him soon his lungs would be mature!!
-He does think I will make it another 4 weeks IF my water doesn't break (which it could).
-He recommended for me to be induced at 37/38 weeks to be off of my blood thinner.

Great appointment! But, Ive had a hard day. I miss Maddie..I'll post more about it later. I want to rejoice in this good appointment!

Oh Kellie, he looks absolutely gorgeous! I am so happy for you guys! I am praying for you!

His little cheeks are sooo adorable!

Great news! And I'm sure very comforting. My husband was born at 32 weeks weighing only 4lbs12ozs (exactly 3 pounds less than our son at full term) and he was fine (and this was back in the 70's) so I'm sure even if Jackson comes early everything will be okay.

5.2 lbs! He's already heavier than I was at birth (I was 5 lbs. 1 oz. and was about 2 weeks early). Go Jackson go!!!
