March is tomorrow..

And still no Anna - to everyone who said I wouldn't make it til March: Gee thanks for jinxing it. I think if Anna has her way, she'll just stay in there forever. Wouldn't you? You have someone to carry you around all day, you have a constant supply of food (without even having to chew!), you can sleep whenever you want to and it's a constant 98.6 degrees everyday. Sounds like the life to me!

Well, we had our 38 week check up last Wednesday and because of my issues before (high blood pressure, etc) the doctor decided to do an internal so he would know where we are in the ballgame. Ha! The game apparently hasn't even begun. I am not dialated or effaced. I also asked him if there was any way to determine about how big Anna's getting - since the nurse at the hospital was nice enough to tell me my belly was huge and that Anna was going to be a BIG baby... so he decided to send us for a growth scan ultrasound. Yet again so we'd know where we stand. If for some reason I'd be in labor for a long time, he wants to know if it would be worth continuing or if the baby is SO big that we'd be better off with a C-section.

So.. we had our appointment for a growth scan on Friday. The first measurement the girl took was Anna's head circumference and the first one determined that she was measuring 40 weeks and 3 days!! Keep in mind, I was 38 weeks and 4 days at the time. Her head is over a foot around. I told the girl I don't care about the size of her head, that's soft, it'll smoosh on the way out.. what about the rest of her?? Well, after completing a bunch of other measurements, it was determined that she could weigh about 8lbs 10oz - "Holy Shit" were the first words out of my mouth. Then she told us that there's a 20 oz swing and she could in actuality be anywhere from 7lb 6oz to 9lb 14oz! CHUNKY BUTT!!

Now we are waiting until Monday to hear from the doctor if I have to be induced.. God, I hope so. I am so uncomfortable and NOTHING is easy anymore. Sitting down to pee is a chore - guys have no idea how easy they have it. Getting up off the couch or out of bed takes 5 minutes and an awful lot of huffing and puffing.

We are going out for a "Date Night" dinner tonight because for all we know it could be our last for a few months!! I'll keep you posted on what the doctor says on Monday!

**The pic at the top is a not so clear pic of her grumpy face that the girl was able to get on Friday - I'd be grumpy too, that's my uterus in her face! Hahaha...
