Yesterday, I had my birthweight ultrasound. As of May 17, 2011, she weighs 7lbs 12oz. Since my due date is still 2 weeks away, my Doctor said she still had the potential to gain 1 1/2 to 2 pounds, bringing her close to the 10 pound mark. Not to mention any time that I may go past my due date, which in a first pregnancy, is highly likely. If I wanted to avoid a C-section, Dr. King recommends an induction on the weekend before my due date, which coincides perfectly with his on-call schedule at the hospital. So, that's the plan!
I have to wait for confirmation from the hospital scheduler or something like that, but it looks like I will begin my induction the evening of May 27th and have a baby by the end of next weekend!
At this point, I think Brian and I are in the Holy-Crap-This-Is-Really-Happening-We-Have-To-Buy-Diapers mode.
