Chubby Baby

After a long exhausting weekend of contractions for Andrea, we had a routine doctor's visit on Monday. After venting her frustration to the doctor about the contractions without real labor, it was revealed that perhaps the reason she is contracting is because the baby is measuring big, and I mean big... causing a lot of strain on her body. The doctor used some large word like macrosomia, basically meaning the baby is measuring big for how far along Andrea is. At 35.2 weeks pregnant the baby was measuring in at the size of a baby at 38 weeks gestation. That's right everyone the baby is currently weighing in at a whopping 6lbs 120z. The doctor said that at this point if we reach our due date we we are on schedule to deliver a 9 1/2 to 10lb baby. Andrea was obviously not excited about the prospect of delivering a 10lb baby, and thankfully the doctor reassured her that she wouldn't have to. At this point if the baby's weight continues as expected and Andrea hasn't delivered by her visit on the 17th, we will schedule induction for some point that week, making her btw 38 and 39wks, with the baby weighing closer to 8lbs 12 oz to low 9lbs. Still big but... alot more reasonable. So any new thoughts on the sex of the baby for those of you reading this? Andrea still says girl and Chris adamantly thinks boy... we shall see, hopefully for Andrea sooner than later. Sooner she informs me equals smaller baby....
