I suppose we will be buyer larger hats

Last Friday I had a dr's appt. We had another ultrasound to check my fluid levels and this time they were at 29.8 cm's! Average amount of fluid at 36 weeks is around 14-15 cm's so I am double what most pregnant women are. No wonder everwhere I go people ask me if I am having twins! My baby has an olympic size swimming pool in there. He/she better be enjoying it while it lasts because it is getting pretty exhausting for me having to heft it all around.

The ultrasound tech also estimated the baby's weight at 7 lb. 6 oz's!! and at that point I still had 4 weeks left for it to get bigger so this could be a pretty big baby. My dr. said she still thinks I can do a regular delivery, we will just have to monitor the baby's size in the next few weeks. I have one more ultrasound at 39 weeks to see how much bigger it has gotten. The ultrasound tech said she didn't think I would make it to 40 weeks though so we shall see.

The other thing the ultrasound detected was that the baby's head is out of range which means it is measuring bigger then a newborns already! I can hardly wait to try to push that out of me. Hopefully it doesn't get much bigger in the next few weeks. The ultrasound tech said that the head is covered in hair too which is pretty exciting. I didn't even know you couldtell those kinds of things on an ultrasound.

I am getting so excited to see what this baby looks like. Chubby, huge head with lots of hair, sounds like perfection to me. I have anotherappt. today. I am hoping I am dilated or that something is going on down there. I can't believeI only have 3 weeks left!!
