Checking Kristine's level of amniotic fluid. Dr. Nelson was concerned that fluid levels hadn't increased. It is completely normal as the babies head may be moving down further. This is a cautionary check to make everybody happy that the pregnancy is progressing as normal. Baby weighs about 7lbs. 5oz. right now. Not too big, not too small! We always knew he'd be about perfect. Everything on the ultrasound looks good. They're measuring the fluid now...they take a measurement from all 4 areas of the uterus which will them tell the Dr. that everything is hopefully ok.
We also discussed the due date and how we feel that their week count differs from ours. Dr. Nelson has changed the due date to March 5th as per our request. That way, if we have to induce, we can at least put it off for another week. We all think that he's going to come out before 3/14 though! Our induction date would be 3/13 with hard labor probably coming on Monday, 3/14.
Going back to talk to the doctor now about the ultrasound...will keep you all posted.
