Baby Palmer Update

Today marks 31 weeks of pregnancy and baby Palmer is just a moving and a shaking.

We had an ultrasound today and found out that he is 4 pounds 3 ounces, which is 63rd percentile.  I was shocked, in a good way of course.  You see, we were not actually supposed to have any more ultrasounds, so this was kind of a bonus one.

Last week at my 30 week appointment, I was measuring between 27 1/2 and 28 weeks... about 2 weeks behind.  So my doctor wanted to do an ultrasound just to double check that Palmer was growing appropriately.  I had prepared myself that he might be a bit on the small side.  I mean sweet Beau hovers around the 3rd percentile for height and weight, so we are no stranger to small.  So when I heard Palmer was in the 63%, I was pleasantly surprised.  Yippee Jesus for a growing, healthy boy!  I will take both of my boys in any size or shape!

Palmer was head down during the appointment.  The nurse practitioner said that he might stay that way for the duration of the pregnancy because it is a comfortable position for him, but with 9 weeks to go there is of course no way to be sure.  He could move positions every day between now and then, so we will just have to wait and see how he ends up.

Thank you Jesus for a growing boy!
