Ultrasound #3

I had my doctor's appointment today and will be going in on Thursday for yet another ultrasound. Because my belly is measuring small, they want to check Emma's size and the amniotic fluid level to make sure everything is okay. The height of my uterus is measuring 26 weeks, so since I am in my 31st week, this caused a bit of concern. I was also measuring at 26 weeks three weeks ago, which means the distance from my pubic bone to the top of my uterus has not changed. =( I was told that this could be because Emma is laying sideways (transverse), so while she may be growing, my belly just might not be popping out. She is still very active and her heartbeat was strong as always today. I am trying to be calm and not worry but the words "bed rest" and "preterm labor" certainly did not ease my nerves. Heaven forbid if I went through this pregnancy without any "glitches". Keep fingers crossed that all is well. Larry and I will be attending our first baby class tonight on "baby care basics", aka. diapers/bottles/feeding/sleeping/etc. Sounds like a good time to me baby, even though one of my students thought "Aw man, Mai-wee, how bo-wing and tewible that will be!" =)
