Baby Update

Well Tuesday I went up to Maine Medical for the second set of Ultrasounds. Was told that he looked healthy and everything looks healthy. He is approximated to weigh 1 lb 7oz right now. Definately is a boy, and he likes to sleep with one hand under his head. Then Wednesday I went to my OB in Rochester, and he told me that everything looked good. He wants me to go back to Maine Medical for one more set of Ultrasounds then I can do the rest in Rochester. They want me to go once a month until I am 28 weeks, then at 28 weeks I have to go every 2 weeks, and then at 32 weeks I have to twice a week for ultrasounds. My OB said that now the goal is to keep me pregnant as long as possible, because that is one less day that the baby will spend in the hospital after he is born. He told me that the baby would probably survive at this point if he decided he wanted to be born. Which makes me happy to know that I am doing what I am supposed to I guess. But definately want to make it to full term if possible.

Just thought I would share,
