38 weeks- estimated weight

In light of the GD and my age, Doc OB requested an estimated fetal weight along with today's BPP. Based on measurements of Ishkabibble's head, belly, thigh bone and arm bone, Ishka weighs about 6 pounds 12 ounces and is in the 53rd percentile.

In other words, we're still perfect! GD-be-damned!

36 weeks exactly

BPP this morning- as usual, no problems with anything. Ishka seems to always be practice breathing. Estimated fetal weight today was 5 pounds 14 ounces, or the 58th percentile. It looks like GD is not affecting Ishka's growth, which was wonderful to hear. No giant baby worries, and no reason for anyone to induce at 39 weeks as had been implied.
