They are also for SUMO WRESTLERS...and I think that that is what I have brewing in this oh so growing belly of mine. We (Brady and I :) )got to meet our new doctor today, Dr. Pagette. She is GREAT, very personable (what I have been looking for, and was dissapointed about leaving my SA doctor for because I had found it in him) and sweet... I was not thinking that there would be any sonogram or anything done but much to my surprise we got to do an ultrasound and see Mr. Brady for the second time in a week :). NOT TO MY SURPRISE.... it was commented ohhh he has a little bit bigger head but nothing to worry about. Big Head and nothing to worry about should not be in the same sentence... sorry lol. Since I am scared to death of pushing out a head the size of the guy on Beetlejuice that shrank, or a head the size of Baby Stewie on the Family Guy, not being worried is just not going to happen. As beautiful as people try to make this whole "bringing a life into the world" thing look, yeah I have been there and seen it with quite a few girlfriends and knowing that I have a larger head to push out then they did, GOOD NIGHT NURSE. SOOOOO here is where we are at right now... Get this- 85th percentile, which I had clarified to me (I have always done the head nod like I know what people are talking about when saying that percentile business) means that only 15 percent of all babies born will be bigger then him! THAT WAS AMUSING... He already weighs 3.6 pounds! We still have 11 weeks to go!
Of course when the words BIG HEAD came out and my figuring I was destined to push a cantaloupe out of a grape was confirmed, the first words out of my mouth was- How does the whole deciding on a C-section thing work :). She seems very open to doing what makes the momma comfortable but we'll open that whole can of worms when it gets closer. I am VERY tossed up as I don't want to have a long recovery period when I am on maternity leave, but good god if I am going to have a kid with a cone head for months and have to push that "cone" out, then please let's do a C-section. Yes I know it is major surgery and the reasonings of me wanting it, or MAYBE wanting it are those quite selfish, it's still what comes to mind. SO that being said we will see how he continues to grow... maybe he will take a small break. Orrrr maybe momma should stop suckin' on those McDonalds's french fries and grab the apples til he gets here :). Apparently he is suckin' up the fat like his momma does :).
She did say that if I am interested in INDUCING- I'M SORRY DID YOU JUST SAY "IF" I AM INTERESTED AFTER TELLING ME THAT MY KID IS GOING TO BE THE SIZE OF A SMALL MAN IF I GO FULL TERM- that she will induce on week 39. I know it is only a week but that is one week less of him getting even bigger :). They show by his measurements (and I assume mine as well) that I am actually a week ahead of what my due date is, so instead of being 29 weeks tomorrow, they show I am 30 but she said that they aren't going to change the due date. I have been about 4 days off with my measurements from the beginning so it is very possible that inducing me at 39 weeks due to the "menstrual calendar" will really be 40 weeks and full term for him by our measurements.
SOOOOO what that means is that we are going to have a baby here before Turkey Day for sure :). What that also means is that this weekend marks a TEN WEEK COUNTDOWN!! Wow how that doesn't seem like long with all that I have to do! It also means 10 weeks of cutting back the lard that I am stuffing in my mouth as it of course tastes oh so delicious at anytime! No more fried, and cutting out the bad sugars... although I haven't decided what day to start.... maybe Monday.. I love the start on Mondays! OHHHHH you thought I meant THIS Monday... nooooo silly next Monday, on through til week 10 when I could wrestle a man and win :). This sweet boy has some fabulous little lips though, as my doctor had an obsession with finding his willy (which, poor thing, how many times must we peek!) and look at his top lip to verify no cleftlip.... He looks just perfect as can be... Right now he is still head down, from my right and lefts his head is on my left and his little bootie is on the top of my belly almost but more to the left of my belly button, and then his little feet are on the right side of my belly... makes perfect sense because i feel alot of movement on the top right of my gut, and then in the very lower lower of my belly which are his arms when he is stretching :). Of course anything can happen and he can change at any time.. but so far I hope he stays in this position which he hasn't changed in a week now so that is good news!! Right now he is not in an uncomfortable position for me as far as jabbing my ribs or anything... He seems pretty comfy because I feel the movement in the same spots alot, so it seems as if he is content. She said that my placenta is at the top which she said is good and that you don't want it on the bottom near the cervix. That will be something that I will take her word on because there are oh soooo many things that I don't get about pregnancy. Anyways so he is just perfect as can be (oh and fat lol) and I am verrrrrry excited! We will be getting a new sonogram in 4 weeks! It's crazy to see him, his little heart is growing as it should as well as all those other body parts :).
We are going to get his bed this weekend which I am sooooo very excited about! I will take pics as the nursery develops! I better run, Hope everyone has a great weekend!
