Ultrasound and Doctor's Visit

The past few weeks I have been measuring on the large side. My doc said I was measuring 37 weeks...EEK! She ordered and ultrasound to make sure baby was not really THAT big! Well I went in for the ultrasound and since my Doctor's ultrasound tech was not going to be there today I had to go down to the mammogram clinic. That was interesting...man the looks I was getting. They must have thought "Lady you in the wrong room"...heehee. Anyway they were weird and wouldn't let Michael come back until all the measurements were taken....odd! So I am 31w 2d today and the baby measured right at 33w. They said that was normal. They guesstimated that she weighs around 4 pds 8oz, but they said the ultrasound could be as much as 11oz off. So she could weigh around 3pds 12oz. Who knows? Oh and she has a head full of hair...which explains the heartburn. She measured great, but she is in full breech right now. After the ultrasound I went up to see my doctor. She said the baby measured fine on the ultrasound and that I am probably measuring big because she is breech. She said breech babies tend to measure larger and carry higher. Bad news...if she doesn't turn they will have to preform a C-section. Praying that she turns!!

As for Tessa she is finally coming around to this whole baby thing. She points to my belly now and says "Baby Jenna in there". I think Tessa maybe coming down with something. Yesterday and today she ran a low grade fever and had a small appetite. Then this afternoon she would scream every time she swallowed anything. So it looks like I may be calling the ped tomorrow. Ugh!

Update..

I noticed today that I haven't updated this in a little while...

A couple of weeks ago I went in for the gestational diabetes screening. I was told not to eat breakfast...so I didn't...and still failed. It probably didn't hurt that I had a TCBY milk shake at about 9 or so the night before. Whoops! My score was 173 when it was supposed to be lower than 130. So I had to go in for the 3 hour test. I was told if to eat a high carb diet of 150grams of carbs a day for 3 days, then fast on the 3rd day after 12am. The first test was the fasting test which had to be 60-105. Mine was 85...Passed! After the first hour I was to test lower than 190. I tested 182...Passed! After the second hour I was to test lower than 165. I tested 156...Passed! Since I passed the first 3 they let me go home. I do not have gestational diabetes.

Last Thursday I went to see my OB and I measured big for the 3rd visit in a row. So next Thursday they want me to have an ultrasound to make sure the baby is growing the way she should. My doctor said I was carrying high and that was probably all it is...but they want to make sure.
