Had a measurement ultrasound today. Didn’t get any pictures, should have asked, oh well. Anyways he is definitely a boy, no question at all about that. Oh and he is a big boy. At 36 and a half weeks he weighs 7 and a half pounds. Eek! and the general growth of babies the last month or so is half a pound every week, which means he could be over 9 pounds when he is born. That is really kind of scaring me. I’ll get to have another ultrasound in about 2 weeks, so we can check his size again, since if he is still really big at 39 weeks, I’ll probably end having to induce, which I really would prefer not to do.

Then again to be fair I would prefer to go to sleep and wake in the morning with a newborn next to me, rather then go through any labor. I still have this anti-drug thing going on, and I have a feeling from what I’ve heard if they do induce I am going to want an epidural, which isn’t a happy idea, but I’ll deal if it happens.

In other news he has a ton of hair can’t tell if it is thick or thin, but there is a lot of it, which is kind of an odd thing you can see on an ultrasound. Anyways it appears I have a huge blob arriving soon with a lot of hair. Eek!
