Doctor visit update
Let me catch you up on whats been going on in our lives. Last week the doctor was a little concerned that the baby has not dropped yet because she might be too big for my body. So she scheduled us for an ultrasound at the next office visit which was today. We go in for the ultrasound this morning and got to see her drinking the amniotic fluid and her heart beating. The tech also verified one more time that we are indeed having a girl. Then she proceeds to measure how big the baby is and to our suprise she is wieghing in at about 9lbs and 5oz. Now the measurement can be off by a pound so she can be ranging from 8 to 10lbs right now. We couldn't stop laughing. Of course I would be the one in the family to carry the large babies. Anyways, the doctor came to our room, looked at the chart, saw the baby's estimated weight, turned to us and asked how we felt about a scheduled C-section. She did not want to schedule us for one immediately but she feels that in the end I will need a c-section. I asked if I could try to go naturally and she was okay with that so that is what we are planning on doing. We go back on Monday to see if I have dilated at all (since currently I have not dilated even a half a cm). If there is nothing we will be induced on that Tuesday (January 27th). So much for a February baby.
