Baby Miller Update

I figured it was about time to update everyone of the progression of our arrival. I am a little over 36 weeks now. I feel like I have forever to go still. For those that have been around me lately the general comments are, Oh, I am so sorry, Kara...how much longer?, He's really low., Are you going to make it?, How big is he?. Even little children come up to me and stare at or touch my belly and comment how big it is!

It is getting increasingly more uncomfortable as the days go by. I feel like I could go into labor any minute, but yet I know it could still be a few more weeks. His room is almost ready and I am very pleased with how it looks. I will post pictures of the finished product once he arrives.

At my 32 week appt they told me I was starting to measure ahead and that in a few weeks I may need an ultrasound to check the size. At my 34 week appt I was even bigger yet so they went ahead and ordered an ultrasound. I had that last week at 35 weeks...he was already approx. 7lbs 6ozs, 90th percentile, everything else looked great. At my 36 week appt this week, no surprise, even bigger. So, next week at 37 weeks I will have another ultrasound to recheck the size and then my check up appt right after that.

Since I've had no complications so far and I have successfully birthed a good-sized baby before (Brynn was 8lbs 7ozs, 21 1/4 in long) they are in no hurry to have him come out. As of now, they won't consider inducing me or suggesting I'll need a C-section because of his size until I am 39 weeks. I figure if I make it to 39 weeks I may have to one more ultrasound to check the size again before they make their decision.

Hanging in there!
