Connor Update

So we are 2 1/2 weeks out from our due date and Connor has decided that he is going to be small. As of the 20th, he was measuring about 5 lb 14 oz...only around the 18th percentile. The doctor said that they like to see them above the 20th percentile so he needs to get a few more ounces on him. I was told to eat more protein, so I have been watching my protein intake and making sure my snacks are all filled with protein rich items. I will be happy when I can go back to a Coke and candy bar. :)

I am going to be starting 2 visits per week with ultrasounds at each one. I am not sure what they are going to find every 3 days, but I am sure they are just making sure he is going up and not down. Right now his head is measuring the right size, but his body is on the skinny side. He is like the Cuties from Disney...big heads and little bodies. Cute huh?!

I imagine that when he is big enough he will decide he is ready to come out. Peyton was only 6lb 12 oz, so with the extra boost of protein and a few more weeks, he should be fine.

I go again tomorrow (22nd) and will make sure he getting bigger. Posts to follow!
