Our little boy is not so little. Yesterday at the doctor appointment, his measurements predict that he is already over 8 lbs 11 ounces. I am going back in on Monday to have a more detailed ultrasound and to confirm his size. At the rate he is growing, he could be a nine pounder by then! Oh and by the way, nothing is happening 'down there' so the doctor is leaning towards a c-section next week so our boy does not get too big. We are meeting with the doctor after our ultrasound Monday to "discuss our options." During the ultrasound yesterday, his bladder was really full and large so the doctor was a little concerned. Apparently in a small number of infants there is a valve that does not open and close properly and allow them to empty their bladder correctly. They are checking it again on Monday to see if he has been able to go pee. It is only a small procedure once he is born to fix it so it is good to know now that we need to keep an eye on it.
It is looking like this weekend will be our last weekend with just the two of us, so we are excited to be able to take this time to ourselves and relax!
Look for another update on Monday evening with our plans for our boy's arrival...
