38 Weeks, 5 Days

We have a plan!  I am scheduled for a c-section on Monday at 7:30 am!!!

This morning I had an ultrasound with the purpose of estimating this baby's size.  Everything was very normal (even small), except for his belly (just like Rylan).  The ultrasound tech said she actually couldn't get his entire belly on her screen to measure it because it so big.  She said the measurement she gave us would most likely be smaller than his true size because of this.  Ultrasounds are usually 1 to 1.5 lbs off with weight estimates but she was pretty sure that the baby's actual weight is only higher than the estimate.

Here are the estimates:

Femur: 36 2/7 wks
Humerus: 36 3/7 wks
Head Circumference: 37 6/7 wks
Abdominal Circumference: 41 1/7 wks
Weight: 8 lb, 4 oz

So, a short and fat baby is what the ultrasound is predicting!

Everything looked great in the ultrasound though.  No red flags and he looks perfectly healthy.  His heart rate was 135 bpm and the fluid amount still looks great.

I'm up to 172 lbs so I've put on 47 lbs so far - eeekkk!  I put on 40 lbs with Carter and 45 lbs with Rylan.  I'm very much looking forward to working out again!!!

When the doctor checked me I was only 1+ cm dilated and about 70% effaced.

Now if only baby boy can hold on a few more days until our planned date!!!
