On our last appointment with our regular Dr., there was concern that Jackson was not growing at the rate he should be. The Dr. thought he might be a bit small.. (hey, we arent huge people, so we werent surprised to hear that!). As a precaution, we had an ultrasound done today with Dr. Veille. Jackson weighs about 5lb 13oz and is perfectly average in size. Dr. Veille predicts he will be about 7lbs when he is born.
The bad news is that Jackson is currently in the breech position which means he hasnt turned to make his final decent "head first". He has about a week to turn around on his own before he runs out of room. If he doesn't turn, we have to consider the option of attempting to turn him by a process called "external version" or opt for a good ol' C-Section!!
He already has a mind of his own!
I'm still feeling good for the most part except a backache and a bloody nose again this morning.
Good times!!
