14 days and counting...

Branton Cade will be here in two weeks from today if he doesn't decide to come on his own before then. Today we had a doctor's appointment, and Branton's heartrate was 147 bpm. My belly was measuring 33-34 weeks, so my doctor wanted to do a sonogram to check and make sure he was growing fine. She also wanted to do a biophysical profile because I have felt decreased movement. Our appointment was over at about 1:00, but we couldn't have the sonogram or BPP until 4:00. We are happy to know now that everything is great. He scored 8/8 on the BPP and is growing great (about 2.5 weeks big). He was measuring at 8 lbs 2 oz today. They said to keep in mind that the sonogram can be off in size by a pound but the reading assured that he is growing great. Another good thing about having the sonogram is that we have more pictures of our precious son!

I still think Branton looks like Brennan but not as much as I thought he did in the earlier sonogram. Maybe because he is so much bigger. ;-)

So glad for the good report! Those Douglas brothers are going to look a like!

Cassie looked at the 4D pics (or 3D or whatever it is) and said, "Hey! That's Brennan!" I guess in her opinion they ARE going to look alike! :) Can't wait to meet Mr. Branton!
