Not out of the doghouse yet...
They did an ultrasound and they said that his estimated weight is 4 lbs. 6 oz. From what I know, that is a good weight at 34 weeks. All of the estimates that I have seen, estimate a baby to be about 4 3/4 lbs.
So, I'm expecting him to be fine. And that my wife is just a worrier. I was wrong. They estimated that his stomach is now 4 weeks behind where it should be. So, now my wife has to go in to her doctor once a week, and to the specialist once a week until he is born. They are basically going to decide week to week if he would be better off staying, or being taken out. My guess is that they'll let her hit the full term (37 week) mark and then take him out. I don't see him lasting the full 40 weeks. He'll be here before May 25th.
My wife is also pretty much on bed rest until she has him. She can only be on her feet and moving around a maximum of 3 hours a day. She has to stick to a strict 2,000 calorie meal plan with a limitation on how many carbs she can have.
