Doctor Visit 3.18.09

Went to the doctor yesterday. My belly is measuring like I'm one month further along than I am, which means the little guy isn't so little. The doctor felt around my belly a bunch and said he would estimate the baby is somewhere more like 4-5 lbs. (normal weight is around 4 lbs. at this point). He said I'm not tall enough for a baby this big. So, at this rate, we'll have a 9 lb. baby when he's due. Since measuring my belly with a tape measure isn't exactly the most accurate form of determining weight, the doctor ordered another ultrasound for our next visit (which is 4/1) to try to get a better estimate on the baby's weight. Once we have a better idea about that, he may decide to go ahead and plan for c-section rather than risk putting me or the baby in distress if he's just too big to fit. We'll know more in 2 weeks when we go back. Everything looks good so far --- except my feet are huge all the time. Blood pressure is good, etc. He may already outgrow his newborn clothes before he even gets here! :)
