BIG Bud!

Geez, no wonder I've been feeling so tired and miserable lately . . . at my appointment with Dr. P. today, she told me I am measuring at 37 weeks! (And I just reached 34 today!)

Bud is a BIG baby. Dr. P. said she's not too surprised, because it's common with the gestational diabetes. But she's finally going to send me for another triple play (non-stress test, ultrasound, biophysical profile) at Met hospital on Tuesday morning. She wants to get an estimated weight for Bud, just to see how big he is!

I remember that Andrea was always measuring 2 weeks further along, after I reached 28 weeks with her. I think she was delivered at just under 38 weeks, and she was a decent 7lbs. 12 ozs. If this not-so-little guy is measuring THREE weeks further along, and we're not delivering him until 39 weeks . . . God help us! :))

I am anxious to find out how big he is, on Tuesday. But I know that the ultrasound measurements can be off by a lot, too . . . they told me Andrea would be about 9 lbs., and thank goodness, she wasn't. :)) I'll update you on Tuesday afternoon.
