Big boy!

We went to the doctor this week and everything looked good! He's moving around and having a grand ol' time with his mommy.

So the Doc came in after the test and said "wow you are getting big!" 
(Thanks, Doc... Never get sick of hearing that)

Well I am a little over 34 weeks now. I asked about the size of the baby and he measured me and said that I was measuring the same size as a "normal woman" would measure at 39-40 weeks. 

Translation: My baby is big. 

I asked how much he thought he weighed and he did the usual doctor answer "Well there are a lot of factors that... blah blah blah"

Translation: I have no idea and I don't want to tell you wrong.

That's fine, I knew I was going to have a cute chubby baby.

So what does this all mean?! Well we have an appointment on Friday for another nonstress test. If all goes well then we wait another week for ANOTHER nonstress test and ultra sound (on Feb. 17). If he has continued growing like he is now, then we will do an amniocentesis (to check his lungs) and decide what to do from there. 

Doc said he was about 90-95% sure that it would have to be a C-Section and that it would be soon after the appointment on the 17th. So I will be close to 36-37 weeks. 

He's looking healthy though, which is good! Keep the prayers coming. We appreciate the love and support!
