Baby Stats 10.08.07

Sigh. Well, I tried not to get my hopes up...but I did anyways. Found out this evening that I haven't progressed at all since last week. The only major change was that I gained another 4 pounds in one week! WHAT? That is not the kind of news I wanted to hear. Plus, she measured the baby's head on the ultrasound and it is measuring BIG, as usual. His tummy and legs are measuring normal, but I guess we've got the Macy's Day Parade Balloon head growing in there. She was talking to me and telling me some other stuff, and I couldn't even focus on what she was saying b/c I was trying so hard not to cry. She walked out the room and down came the tears. My next appointment will be with a different midwife b/c mine will be out of town for that medical conference. The earliest the hospital will allow me to be induced is at 39 weeks (Oct 18th), but even then I have to be so far progressed with my cervix and stuff. My midwife comes back on Oct 21st...so only time will tell where I'm at and what will happen. That's only a few days before my actual due date anyways. So it's not like inducing me helps that much. I am just worried he is going to be gigantic head child or something. But I am trying to not allow myself to worry about things I have no control over b/c there is nothing I can do about it but let it happen.

Macy's Day Parade Balloon head! You're so funny! Those ultra sound measurements are not always that accurate. And even if his head is big, that's cute! I understand how frustrating the last couple weeks of pregnancy are--trust me! It feels like forever, but he'll be here sooner than it seems. I promise!

ok, the farther along you are the more IN-accurate the measurements are. I'm sure he is just fine and normal and not big headed, but he may have a butt chin like his daddy!! did he ever tell you we called him "our butt chin buddy?"

funny you mentioned the butt chin. We think he does have it b/c in one of the 3D ultrasounds it sure looks like it! CUTE!
