Doctors Appointments Round Deux

So today was my ultrasound. I was all excited to see my little baby again but sadly my little baby is to big to get a cute picture of now...well that and she had her chin resting on her chest so we weren't able to see her little face and they can't fit her on the screen all at once so you could only see pieces at a time. Like just her leg, or just her hand (I actually got to see neither of these things but Christopher got to see them) But on the positive side she is no longer breech! Yes, she could still flip around (and around, and around) for a few more weeks but maybe she'll stay the right way? Her heartbeat is good and strong at 133 BPMs. And even though she was sleeping I know she is moving fine because she was making my stomach pop while I was waiting to go to the ultrasound room! Now for the slightly curious/worriesome part. She is measuring at 33 weeks. And yes, I am fully aware how inaccurate the measurements can be at this point however what makes it slighty worrisome is that almost 2 months ago when the doctor measured my fundal height I was also 2 weeks ahead which is how much ahead I was based on this ultrasound. On Wednesday I have a prenatal appointment with my new doctor so hopefully he can shed some like on it for me. I am also anxious to find out when/ if he will be inducing me. Dr. Whitesides had said there was a good chance I'll be induced at 37-38 weeks so I wonder if the new doctor agrees and how that changes if I'm measuring ahead. I just hope he doesn't want to induce at 38 weeks according to SIZE versus actually age. Surely not, but if he does then that means the baby would be here in 5 weeks. AAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I'l for sure will be biting my nails to the quick until Wednesday!
