32 Weeks OB Visit

Today I went for my 32 week checkup at the OB. Mom went with me so she could see the baby on the ultrasound. It was a great visit with lots of good news. We found out that he turned and is now head down - which is good news. No more silly google searches for "how to turn your breech baby" LOL! The ultrasound tech also said that he has a lot of hair! Which is quite amazing to me that they can even see that on a ultrasound-- and also because both Daniel and I were bald for like forever -- and Kaitlyn is almost 2 and still does not have a lot of hair. His heart rate was 129, and he is weighing in at an incredible 5 pounds 7 ounces! The Dr said that falls into the 75th percentile! And the best news was that the renal bladders in his kidneys have actually gotten smaller and now fall into the normal range - - so no more worries with that! The baby was very low in the uterus so it was hard to get a good picture, the only one that looks like anything is a profile shot and you can just see his nose, eye and mouth.
