We knew from our last ultrasound that we were going to have a big boy, but our doctor kind of put things in perspective for us yesterday! She said that his head and abdomen are measuring at about 32 weeks, and we're only at 29 weeks! She also said that my stomach is measuring at approximately 36 weeks! I was shocked to hear that number! She feels that it is mostly because of his size and the extra amniotic fluid. I guess that's why everyone's been shocked when they find out I still have 11 weeks! =) She also told us to start thinking about the possibility of a C-section. I was pretty much prepared for that, because we knew he was going to be big, and I think it will be nice to get to choose his birthday! I've heard that recovery is much harder from a C-section, but I know I'll have lots of help those first couple of weeks. It's not a definite thing yet, but I won't be surprised if that's how it turns out.
We have another ultrasound scheduled for Monday to check on the amniotic fluid levels and make sure that it's not more elevated than it was last week. I'm excited that we get to see him again! We'll keep you posted! =)
