28 Week OB Visit

I had my 28 Week OB Checkup today. The visit started with another ultrasound to check on the baby's kidney's. Last month the bladder in the kidney measured 9mm on both the left and right side. This month they measured 6 - 7mm each. The Dr said that they are still considered dilated, but if there is a problem usually they get significantly larger. And since they are slightly smaller that's a good thing. They are going to check again in 4 weeks with another ultrasound just to be on the conservative side. His heart rate was 156, and the ultrasound measurements estimated that he is about 2 pounds 15 ounces! He's also in a breech position, but has lots of time to move. He was moving around a lot, so it was hard to get a good picture, but this one came out pretty good.
