Irregular Heartbeat

Inna just got back from a visit to her OB with the news that little Danny was suffering from an irregular heartbeat. A little alarmed, she reassured me with the fact that the follow-up ultrasound showed that everything was just fine and that these things, although a concern, are nothing to be worried about. Phew! Other things we learned:

• Little Danny has a head full of hair.


• He's got chubby cheeks.


• At almost 35 weeks, he's the size of a 36 week baby.


• He's already weighing in at six pounds.


• The ultrasound technician thought his anatomy was exquisite.

I'm due to head off to Boston at the end of the month. I wonder if little Danny Boy is going to influence these plans in any way? They say that delivering after 37 weeks is considered full-term. So really, he can arrive any time after May 30th. And with the Braxton Hicks contractions already underway, who knows? Maybe we should pack the hospital bag?
