So this week Baby Mac passed with flying colors! Because he has a two vessel cord, they consider this pregnancy high-risk, and thus have begun assessing me monthly and now bi-weekly with a test called the biophysical profile. The biophysical profile is an ultrasound exam that measures fetal well-being by testing four criteria. Each criterion is assigned a score of 2 if met (within 30 minutes) -- if not, a score of 0 is assigned. The following criteria are assessed during the scan:
- Amniotic fluid levels
- Fetal breathing
- Fetal tone (the full extension of a limb such as an opening and closing of a hand)
- Gross body movements (two or three episodes of movement such as squirming or kicking).
Baby Mac received an 8/8 or 100%. He is on his way to becoming an A+ student :) In fact, he was squirming and kicking around so much, we couldn't get clear photos at times!
Speaking of photos, Prince George of Cambridge was born this week! He sure received a lot of attention and it was heartwarming to see the Prince and Princess present their first born son to the world. It made me very excited for our little prince!

This was also the week I took the glucose test to determine whether or not I had diabetes. I guess many women get diabetes during pregnancy - but I just received my test scores back and am fine. I do not have diabetes. So it was a good week for Baby Mac and me!
