Good News All Around November 16, 2006

I got the result of my three hour glucose tolerance test back this morning. I passed. All four of my levels, fasting and then each of the three hours, were below the cutoffs. That is definitely a relief.

I also had another appointment with the perinatologist today. I love the detailed ultrasounds I get at those appointments. All looked good.

The little guy’s growth is on track, and he’s estimated to weigh 3 lbs, 4 oz. My amniotic fluid level is good, as is my cervical length. The echogenic focus on his heart is almost completely resolved now. And drum roll please… I no longer have a low lying placenta. I’m glad to know that the darn thing finally got the right directions.

When my appointment was wrapping up my peri said something that threw me for a loop. He said that at my next appointment we would start talking about delivery. What? Delivery? I guess I never thought I’d make it to the point to be discussing actually delivering a baby. Crazy.
