Some doctors are morons *sigh*

Tuesday 08.09.09

So i had my 34wk ultrasound yesterday and it was so cute watching my little man rolling around and wiggling the whole time. He sure does love to move :) We double checked the sex and there's no denying it - all boy!! Now, the main reason for the scan was to see just how big he is measuring already..... whoa! For overall weight, about 6lb 6oz already. Wat have i been feeding this child!?! His head circumference is already 33.55cm (measuring 39wk) and his tummy is measuring 36wk. Both are in the 95th percentile for the growth charts. I'm freaking out, as i still have 6wks til he's due to come out...... i'm possibly looking at a 10lb baby *shocked!!*

Antenatal was this morning and i was met by another dr - different once to last appt. This lady was nowhere near as understanding or caring as the last dr i saw. She just kinda looked at me and was so completely ignorant. Told me that i may not tear at all with this baby, cuz 2nd births are usually easier.... where the heck is the logic in that?? Have a rough birth with a baby less than 8lbs (Kailee was 7lb 13oz at 10days overdue), and an easy birth with a 10lb baby.... yeh right! I now have to wait another 2 wks to go back and get a request for yet another scan to check X's size again. So another 3wks before i can get any definite answers. I wish they would just agree to be cautious and just do the c section or induce me early. Instead, i've gotta wait and see. The longer i wait the more i freak out about how bad it was last time for nearly 2mths AFTER the birth.

In the meantime, til i get some answers, i'm trying to remain positive and pray and trust God has His hand on this situation. My beautiful son will be here before i know it, and although i may have a rough recovery afterward (or i may not - depending on what the dr decides in 3wks) i'll be more focused on my wonderful children, hopefully lol Til then im enjoying the kicks and rolling around that Xavier does while hes still got room in there :) Soon he'll be in my arms, and i'll miss being pregnant. Ironic isn't it , how we miss wat we no longer have.... Kailee is already asking when i will go to hospital and get her baby brother out. She's so cute and can't wait to help change nappies, push him in the pram and hold him. Wat a gorgeous big sister she'll be :D

Well, here's to waiting another few weeks..... i should really keep myself busy finishing off the nursery area and buying Kailee's present from the baby :) Oh and of course there's always housework to be done *ugh*.... In the meantime, here's a cute pic we got yesterday of X's face (u can see his nose, lips and chin), its just precious...
