So that explains why it hurts to walk...

I had my 36 week BPP ultrasound and check up today. Measurements are all over the place, but everyone agrees on one thing. Baby is a biggie.

Head is measuring at 37 weeks, torso between 37 and 39 weeks and from my doc's outside feeling/tape measurements, 39 weeks.

She is 6 lbs, 10 oz currently. Yowza! Um, can we not go to 40 weeks maybe baby? Cause by my calculations, that will put you around, oh I don't know, 10+ pounds!!! OW.

Doc says he knows I would prefer a non-c section birth, but really, I am preparing myself to go either way. As long as she is born healthy and everything is in the right spot, I am not going to get too picky about how she comes out I guess. He said we will give it another couple weeks. I wish I had better patience.

Heck, I'm only 30 weeks and I wish I had more patience. I'm pretty convinced I'm going to die of impatience before I make it to 36 weeks lol.

I can't believe how big your baby is! Wow. Keep hanging in there =)

You are around the same size as my friend, who is due in 5 weeks! I keep joking that her little one is a ten pounder, LOL.

Good luck and hope things continue to go well!

Ten pounder might be better - those big babies sleep better! :) Mine were an ounce apart - 8lbs and 7 lbs 15 oz, they were both two weeks early! My theory is that it only matters how big the head is, because everything else just follows! :)
