Buddha Belly Baby

This past Monday, we had another appointment to see how Baby Fredrick is doing. I was thought to be at 35 weeks and 4 days. At the beginning of the appointment they measure your belly (for those of you who didn't know your fundal height (belly) generally corresponds with your pregnancy week) mine was 39 inches. That really gave Rory and I a shock. Dr Mike then said we should check the baby's size. So we did an ultrasound. They measure different body parts to find the approximate week. Every body part measured around the correct time frame except for Baby F's belly it was at 39 weeks - hence the title Buddha Belly Baby. I asked what that meant and the Dr told me "the baby is well feed" We also found out that the baby is approximately 7.2 lbs. Oh yeah we are having a big one! The Dr said he could almost guarantee we will have a baby over 8 lbs. The Dr said he doubted that the baby would come in the next 2 weeks probably not even the next 3 but he did add that you never know and my water could break that night. The baby's due date stayed at July 20th. Everything seems to be going great with the baby.

Guess we will see what birthday the Lord wants to give our child.
