Baby Update-36 weeks

So as I said earlier, we had an ultrasound on Monday and then meet with the doctor on Thursday. As I guessed, he is a big boy. Now of course the weight is not always accurate, but he is measuring about 8 pounds already. And I still have 3 weeks to go. I am already about 1cm dilated and less then 50% effaced. So we have some options: c-section, induction (about 39 weeks), or just wait and see. We are going to have another ultrasound on Monday because the fluid is a bit high. It should be at 25% and I am at 26%. So just a little high.

As of right now, we are going to wait and see what my body does. There is no way of knowing if I will be able to deliver until labor actually starts. Good thing, my doctor does not want to do a C-section unless she has too.

So until next Monday.

I know you know this, but I just want to put in my two cents - Having a C-Section isn't the worst thing in the world. Aiden wouldn't drop and so I ended up having one.

"Everyone" always says that its not ideal, but just remember to give all your worry and stress and wishing and hoping up to God. Give it all to Him, and He will carry Lucas to you.
