Wow 30 weeks, where has the time gone! We received our scheduled scan the other day and Jyoti and the baby are doing excellent, Dr S is very happy with how things are progressing and by the looks of the measurements from the scan, we have a good size baby on the way.
Our scan was done at 29 weeks and 4 days and the baby measured 31 weeks and 3 days, estimated weight is 1.8kg or 3 pounds 9 ounces for you oldies, not that the weights are always accurate.
One thing that stood out was this kid has a big head, measuring 32 weeks and 3 days but it safe to say that this baby take after Mark's side of the family, FYI Mark was 11 pounds 12 ounces when we was born! Our money is on a boy!
The last couple of weeks in our surro blogland has had a lot of ups and downs, it makes Mark and I so very thankful that we are less than 6 weeks away from our dream of becoming parents. To our surro friends that have had sad news, I hope that as time heals you will have the strength to try again, my heart goes out to you and know that you have the support of us in blogland.
To the new families, Congratulations on your new miracles, it has been awesome to follow your journeys, it almost like we are there with you and at times I felt like a stalker constantly checking for updates.
There were no pics of the baby's face just measurements this time, so here are the stats for 30 weeks:

This week your baby is gaining more weight as baby fat is filling in underneath the skin. Your baby's color is also becoming less red and more pink in color.
By now, your baby's irises can dilate and respond to changes in light.

ReplyDeleteHey Bernadette
ReplyDeleteWe are flying over on 28th Dec, we will be nearly 36 weeks, hopefully we will be able to see a scan in person and be there we the baby is born. Well that's the plan but we all know that babies have their own agenda :-)
Glad all is going to plan and bubs is measuring very well! You must be itching to go and see your baby! Best wishes, thanks for your support xx
