25 week check

So I finally gained about 3 pounds with Cashew, and I am 25 wks 3 days along. I had my doctor's appt today and everything seemed great. My blood pressure was nice, Cashew's heartbeat was about 140. It all seemed great. Then the doctor measured my fundal height (size of uterus) Yeah, I'm 25 weeks 3 days, but measuring 33. My doctor who is always quick to reassure said that this is just an estimate. But, last month he couldn't find the top of my uterus easily, and this month I'm measuring 8 weeks ahead. No bueno.

As a result I am off to another diagnostic ultrasound on June 1st to check on Cashew's growth. The doctor didnt' give me any indication of what we would be looking for so let's hope everything is normal and my uterus is just in a higher position than normal, but he is measuring the right size.

Another fun fact about Cashew is that he is breech. Which explains why I am constantly feeling like I am being kicked in the cervix. He also has asleep and awake patterns that are pretty spot on my schedule so that is nice too.

Hopefully I will know more next week, good news would be nice and not a moment to ruin my birthday the next day :)
