Baby Boy

Just a quick update.   I had an OB appt today (they are weekly now until the baby arrives) and it was not the most fun thing.  Each week they measure my belly to estimate the size/age of the baby.  Last week I was 37 weeks and measuring right at 37.  This week I am 38 weeks and measured at 36.  So the doctor was concerned because I was measuring smaller and two weeks behind where I should be.  So she did a quick ultrasound.  Of course, at this point, all kinds of terrible things are running through my head.  You never want to hear that the doctor is "a little concerned."  But the ultrasound was fine.  The baby looks good, and my fluid levels are good.  In the ultrasound, the baby's head was measuring at 39 weeks, his abdomen at 37 weeks, and his femur at 36 weeks.  It averaged him out to be 37 weeks 4 days, which is close enough to the 38 weeks 5 days that I am supposed to be.  Looks like I will just have another big headed baby like Eliana.  The whole thing just made me nervous, just in case I don't worry about things enough.  We have gone ahead and set the induction date "just in case" for July 10th.  Please continue to pray for a healthy baby and uncomplicated delivery.  I really don't want to get induced again, but if that has to happen, then it happens.  So maybe an extra prayer or two for the baby to show up before the 10th.  No matter what, looks like Baby Boy will be here at most in three weeks.
