34 weeks

My fluid measured less this week at 16cm, but the ultrasound tech said she saw 10 cm of fluid in the center, and they only measure four side pockets, so it really could be up to 26cm and they are telling me 20 is considered normal. So still on the high side of normal.

They told me a lot at this appointment. Basically, lots of fluid means that the baby is secreting a lot more. Which means he is bigger and that the placenta is bigger. The fear is that I can only hold so much fluid and so then am more likely to have my water break earlier but also that when it does break it could send the cord down which would be a very bad thing. So basically it is just a wait and see thing. I get ultrasounds every week now to check the fluid, which is stressful but then again lets me see our baby boy on a weekly basis.

I got a cd of my 3d pictures from the doctor's office today and some of them are so cute, I have to post them.

The name has been decided but is being kept confidential so no one can negate it : )
