Today we made a visit to the specialist to check on Mr. Beck.  Some of what we learned today….

-His hand was once again up against his face so we left empty handed, no pics!

-He weighs 7 lbs 2 oz  (measuring 38 weeks)

-He is in the 90th percentile for his measurements

-He had the hiccups while we were watching him

-His fluid around his kidneys has gone down again!! This was a concern a couple of weeks ago, but now the last two times they have been checked they have been within range.

-He is gaining about 8 oz a week.

-My blood pressure after laying down for the sonogram for 15 minutes….138/86…..not good since I had been laying down.

Jesse and I are so happy that he is looking healthy to both of the doctors. We will get another update from our regular doctor on Monday. Until Monday, eck must stay inside since my doctor is out of town. We will be resting a lot this weekend! I am looking forward to a low key baby shower that Jesse’s work is having for me on Friday. Our bags will be packed this weekend just in case they need to be grabbed in a hurry in the near future. The only thing I have left to do is figure out how to put his name on the wall in the nursery above the crib.

Hope everyone has a nice end to their week!
