Yesterday Nick and I went to our ultrasound appointment and got some interesting information. We knew that this little guy was going to be big but according to estimates, which take into consideration the diameter of his head and tummy, length of certain bones and etc this little guy could be as big as 9lbs 14oz. I was assured that this is just an estimate with a margin of error up to one pound...that is an over estimate of one pound, not an under estimate.
We then met with my doctor to go over the results. We all agreed that since I have yet to meet my actual due date, technically 6/28, we would continue to wait and hopefully we can go naturally. We all discussed that this little fella's potential size does increase the risk of having to deliver via c-section but there is still no reason to believe that things will not go normally.
So for now we are just hanging in there and waiting for signs of progressing labor!! Wish us luck!!
