Update....ultrasound 37 weeks
Well as you all know I had an appointment Monday plus an ultrasound to check on Braydens measurements since I've been measuring 40 weeks for the last month. We had the ultrasound first and he is getting SOOOOOOo big. According to them I should have been 36w 4d with a due date of March 19th (they are still going with the original due date) and now by ultrasound I'm more like 38 weeks. Hes so squished in there its actually kind of sad. Everything is growing and hes weighing in at.......................drum roll.............7lbs 13ozs. Now I've been told that ultrasounds arent very accurate and I'm praying its off by atleast a little bit. My doctor said shes not going to take him early but more than likely he'll have to come by c-section. Shes going to do another ultrasound on March 16th if I make it that far because since the beginning my due date has been March 17th (by ultrasound). She said she wants to do one more ultrasound to determine if she will forsure have to do a c-section. She said sometimes babies will grow more and more then kind of level out and stay that way. While others keep going up. She said that if hes one that keeps going up then I will definatley have to have a c-section. She said she wouldnt even question it if he gets above a certain weight. So now I'm just trying to mentally prepare myself and my husband for a c-section. It looks like thats how my big boy will come into this world. I'm not really scared just trying to figure out how everythings going to take place after...such as sleeping (because our bedroom is up a flight of stairs and our bathroom and on the main floor), caring for the baby since you cant pick up much after a c-section, breastfeeding, etc....just stuff like that. As of now I'm not scared of the actual procedure. Im praying that since he thinks hes already 38 weeks he'll come within the next 2 weeks instead of waiting 3 or 4 more weeks. Im also praying he doesnt come out 12lbs lol. I'm just joking as long as hes healthy thats all that matters but still a 12lb baby......oh my! LoL. Well I guess thats about it for now. Can you believe my "little" baby is almost 8lbs.!!!! Its crazy! I hope he fits in his coming home outfit we have for him. Its SOOOOOOO cute! Its all west virginia university. I'll have to take some pictures of it and post on here where you guys can see it. I'll also try to get some new belly pic up. You can only imagine how big it is now. Well I better go. Hugs Monica.
