Phil and I only produce big headed babies! Dang!!! I had my growth ultrasound today, and she looks great. She's weighing in at approximately 5 lbs. 12 oz. According to everything I read, 6 lbs. is the "norm". My blood pressure was great (112/70), and another lb. gained. As the Dr. is doing the ultrasound he says "she has a big head" and the student in the room says "oh yeah, she's got a big head". GREAT, thanks for the double verification on birthing another baby with a large head!!! Why wouldn't they just not say anything? I didn't know Macie had a huge head before I had her and I liked it that way. Can't say it was so pleasant getting her out! Of course this is the only thing I think about now.
Anyway....I got off track there. I had the ultrasound to make sure that she was growing appropriately since I am having "issues". Seems my "issues" have subsided for a bit. I was seen in Labor and Delivery on Saturday for high blood pressure and I was not feeling "right". I called the Dr., told him what my BP was and he told me to go to the hospital. I was there for about an hour and 1/2 and they sent me home. HATE THAT!!! I told Phil I will not be going back unless I know for SURE that she is on her way out! While I was there I was contracting every 4-6 minutes but could barely feel any of them. We got home and around midnight the fun started. I was having really strong contractions that almost had me in tears and they ended up being 5 minutes apart for about 2 hours. I got in a warm bath and they subsided, but the minute I got out they started back up again. I got so tired finally and fell asleep for a bit and when I woke up again, they were gone. No clue what that was, but I sure as heck wasn't about to go back to the hospital!
So, seems she's going to stay in there a bit longer than we all thought. That's a good thing, but I sure hope she decides to come before her head gets any larger! Macie was born at 37 weeks 2 days and was 7 lbs. 1 oz. and the Dr. told me that this baby was going to be bigger than her.
Sorry I did a lot of babbling on this post. I'm getting anxious and want to meet her. So, will she come on her own, or will my body become uncooperative again and they'll have to get her outta there with the evil drugs???
We shall see....stay tuned.
