Well...

Welp, Ladies and Gents - 
Went to the doctor today. I am 32 weeks. As some of you might recall in the last post they said  that they would have to take him 36-38 weeks. 

Well I went in for a non stress test, which basically tests the babies heart and his reactions to movement - at least that's what I think it does. 

Doc said I have a stubborn baby! He wouldn't move! He kicked me the whole day before and then after they took the monitor off he kicked me forever! Dang boy. So they had to do a BPP or Biophysical profile. This tests his heart rate, fluids in the placenta, breathing, and movement in the limbs. 

Luckily, he kicked me the whole way through AND practiced his breathing! Good job, big boy! 

They didn't really see how big he was, they just eyeballed it and said that he looked fine for his age, just a tad bigger than normal. 

SOOOOOOOOO What does all this mean? Well not much, they couldn't tell too much. They said that it would be more like 37-38 weeks now so like February 23 (yes, that's MY birthday!!) - to March 1st, and a little later if he is doing really well. I wanted to narrow down the dates, but it didn't really work. 

Keep us in your prayers!
