Baby Update

Well I went to the Doctors this morning and got an ultrasound to check on the weight of the baby. I have been very pleased this time around with how the doctor has talked to me every visit about .the babies weight and what our plans are if he seems to be a big baby... At my appointment 2 weeks ago the doctor said that if he is indeed a big baby then he will probably induce me a week early. At my appointment today the ultrasound estimated the babies wieght to be somewhere between 6lb 3 0z and 6lb 5 oz... supposedly he is measuring only half a week ahead of what he should be which is a good sign; although the doctor said it really is these last 4-5 weeks that the babies pack on their weight... When they measure for the weight they measure the head, stomach, and femure bone... The head and bone were right on track week wise but the stomach was measuring at 37 weeks 1 day... The doctor said that is where we have to watch the weight... I go back in two weeks which will put me at 37 weeks and am hoping to find out some more info then... I am guessing I will be getting another ultrasound sometime before the baby is born.
