Well, we had a great appointment with the doctor yesterday. With Laura having gestational diabetes, they were concerned with Anna’s size getting too big too quick. This week in the pregnancy, Anna should be around 6 pounds. Yesterday, she measured in at 5 pounds 15 ounces. The doctor said she looked completely healthy. We have set a date of when Laura will be induced. It will be Monday September 27th. Anna will be delivered at St. John’s Hospital in Tulsa. It’s less than two weeks until we see our precious Anna Marie.
By this week of pregnancy Anna’s crown-to-rump length reaches about 13.5 inches and the total length is approximately 20.7 inches.
Anna’s face has filled out significantly and looks smooth and plump. Because she has powerful sucking muscles and has had layers of fat forming for quite some time now, her cheeks have filled out like a newborn's. Her skull is firm, but not hard. Every baby's head has the ability to give slightly so that there is room for her to fit down the birth canal during delivery. Some babies are born with cone shaped heads from the pressure of delivery, but this will go away after delivery.
