32 Weeks Gestation & 1st Growth Scan

We had an ultrasound at 32 weeks gestation to measure growth and confirm baby is in head down position. As expected he did not want to cooperate and was constantly kicking and punching the sonographer and the probe. But they were able to measure everything...and well... he's a big boy! He was measuring around 36 weeks in size and about 5lbs!! and although ultrasound is notoriously inaccurate, he is going to at least be a big boy.

Due to the size they are worried about gestational diabetes (she already passed her glucose test once) but they are requiring a second test, and weekly monitoring to look at the placenta and fluid level. The first one was this week and all was well! We have another growth scan at 35 weeks then weekly midwife appointments!

We had our professional maternity photos taken on Saturday. We chose to have them taken at Kinder Farm Park near Baltimore. It is a very nice park that also has an animals section with chickens, goats, pigs & sheep. Several barns and silos are there, so it made for a great scenery for pictures.  So far this is the only picture we got back, but it was THE ONE that I made mandatory we take.
The looks we got (it was a crowded Saturday evening!) from others at the park were hilarious. I'm sure they are trying to figure out what was going on, and I'm sure most thought we were polygamists or something! We didn't mind though. I can't wait to see the rest. We have also hired this photographer to be there during the birth to take pictures.
