Baby Update

Just a quick update from my Drs. visit last Friday...

His heartrate is still in the normal zone - bouncing around between 140-150 beats per min.

Also, the doctor measured the "fundal height" - ah, here is something new. This is a measurement from the pubic bone to the top of the uterus (approximate). The distance in centimeters should be right about the number of weeks along. While some find this method "antiquated," I guess it is still a good way to track progress without excessive amounts of ultrasounds. The measurement was pretty dead on though - 21cm at 21wks.

So, he's doing just fine at this point!

Another new development is that I can really feel him now. No kicks or jabs yet, just turning somersaults in my belly! Definitely more active in the evenings. Its kinda cool to just lie down on the couch and feel him wiggling around :)
