He's so Heavy

I had another doctors appointment today. Today I went to the specialist doctor (not my regular OB) to have my cervix checked and to get my 2nd trimester screening. They checked Jude's legs, arms, feet, hands, spine, heart, brain, etc. The doctor said everything looks good. He also said that Jude is 12 oz. That doesn't seem that much but average babies around this time are between 8.5 oz and 10.5 oz. He's huge! The doctor did say "If you do have an arcuate uterus, it could slow down the growth" but even the way he said it kind of made it sound like they still weren't really sure if my uterus was oddly shaped or not, or at least not enough to really worry about (the second doctor at this practice said it was barely arcuate, if at all, but they wanted to check anyway). I have been reading some websites and they say it just indicates a healthy baby and I can expect a 9-10lb baby if I go to 40 weeks. Yikes!! I still hope Jude goes to term, but if he does I hope he's not 10lbs!!

He was a little stinker today though. He does not like to get his picture taken. When the ultra sound tech was taking pictures of the things she needed Jude was not being very cooperative. When she was trying to get us pictures he kept putting his hands over his face and rolling over so we couldn't see a good profile. I think we tricked him though. The doctor came in after the nurse, to do some double checking and he managed to get a profile shot. Here he is filling up the whole screen.

I remember at 12 weeks when we could get his whole body in the shot. I know they can zoom in and out, but still, they can't get his whole body in a shot anymore.

I know it is almost time for a belly shot since I will be 20 weeks on Sunday. I have a doctors appointment again tomorrow with my regular OB so I will post about that and post a new picture over the weekend.
