Lessons Learned

7 weeks left...

So.... Jason and I just got back from a doctor appointment. We also had an another ultrasound on the little guy. Everything looks pretty much the same as it did during the first one. We still have a boy, and there are still going to be some cosmetic problems with his feet. But the big news his his weight. Keep in mind I still have 7 week to go. Right now he is 5 lbs. 11 oz. That's the size of a full term baby! No wonder I feel so uncomfortable. My doctor wants another ultrasound in 3-4 weeks and then "we'll talk" she says.

I'm rather nervous about having a cesarean delivery. I've never so much as had stitches... let alone a surgery! I suppose we'll wait and see how big he is in a few weeks before getting really nervous.

The day before Hudson was born, I had an ultrasound and the technician said he was weighing in at 8lbs, 15ozs. (Yes, almost 9 pounds, I was freaking out!) But when he was born, he only weighed 7lbs, 9ozs. So the ultrasounds can be off by a pound or so. =) Hope that helps!
