Patrick Garrett

Well, it has been a while since I last posted. This bed rest thing is not so fun. On Thursday, I went to my OB. He did all of the necessary tests for making sure that things are on track. When he measured my uterus, he commented "hmm, big baby". I questioned him as to why he said that. He told me that my uterus is measuring four weeks bigger than it should. My last appointment it had measured 1 and a half weeks bigger. I asked what could cause that. He explained that either Garrett is in the breach position or he is just a big baby. Fortunately, I had an ultrasound scheduled for the next day, so he said he will just wait to see what the results were there.

The ultrasound was a very fun experience. I am now 31 weeks and Garrett has enough weight on him that the 4-D turned out amazing. The sonographer did all of her measurements then took some play pictures. Garrett is not in the breach position and his measurements are right on track for 31 weeks. The only thing that she could see that is causing a bigger uterus is my amniotic fluid level is high. I will wait and see what Dr. Mitchell says about the fluid level...

However, this ultrasound we were able to see what he is going to look like. (and we checked to confirm that he is truly a boy!)
