Lately, I've been watching those numbers on the scale go up and up and there is nothing I can do about it but say, "Hey, this baby must be HUGE!" Which would justify those numbers going up so fast. Well, my most recent appointment confirmed that to be true. You see, I'm only 24 weeks along. For those of you who do not know, after 20 weeks, the Doctors start measuring how high up the fundus (top) of the uterus is. The number of centimeters should correspond with the number of weeks you are. So, I should be measuring 24 cm's. Except I'm not. And that is because I'm huge. I am measuring a whopping 30 cm's! That is 6 weeks bigger than I am supposed to be. The midwife told me, "Well, maybe you are just growing a healthy 9 lb baby!" and then I cursed her for saying such things.
At this point, they aren't really worried about it. We are just going to wait until my next appointment and if I'm still measuring huge, then we go to another ultrasound to see why. So if you could spare a little room in your prayers that everything is indeed okay, we would greatly appreciate it.
Oh my goodness! Congrats and you are in our prayers!
