33 week 4 day OB appointment

My appointment went well today. Spent more time in the waiting room than in the exam room with the doctor. Everything is looking good. They got my u/s results from a little over 2 weeks ago. Baby was measuring then at 33wks6days which McKenna emphasized can be plus or minus so much. The estimated weight was 4pounds 10 ounces which again has a margin of error and the percentile was 42%. So he's not concerned about baby's size thus far. My belly is measuring on target as well. We also discussed not going past 40 weeks and he said that is usually the case but sometimes in the cervix isn't being favorable the question comes to letting baby cook longer or using the medications to soften the cervix. Though he said usually they do get things going around 39 weeks. That would be July 5th for getting things going which to me seems perfect! I see McKenna again next Friday afternoon and he said we will start the weekly non-stress tests in about two weeks. As for my sugar levels he said they look great. He only gets concerned when they are consistently high and like in the 160's and 170's. He says it doesn't look like I will need insulin since my #'s are looking great so far. Let's keep our fingers crossed! Well, think that's about it......and baby's hb was at 150 today.
