Giant Human. Still Inside.

So, here is an update for all you faithful blog followers.  Yesterday I met with my midwife, and she said there is still a baby in there, and that everything looks good.  But, since today I am 10 days overdue, I was sent to get a non-stress test and biophysical profile.  That pretty much means they hooked up a heart monitor and we poked at the baby until he moved around a bit, and I got another ultrasound to look at amniotic fluid levels and how he’s holding up.  The good news: He passed all his tests and I am good to keep being pregnant.  The other news: They think he weighs 9.5 lbs.  Let me repeat that: They think he weighs NINE AND A HALF POUNDS.  So tomorrow my midwife will try all her tricks and if he doesn’t come out before Friday I have to go back for the same tests again.  That’s your update.  And yes, I will be starving myself until the giant human comes out.  :)

    Hey Kels, if it makes you feel better… Both my brothers were big babies–10 and 11lbs. My mom claims the 11 lb (although it was her 3rd baby) was her easiest b/c he was a chunky little thing. So you never know…can’t wait to see pictures of the little tyke.
