OMG!!!

So...last thursday I went to the doctor and almost had a heart attack! I had an ultrasound b/c we are still monitoring the growth of the baby, well to my surprise the ultrasound tech tells me that the baby is 7lbs. 12oz.! The only thing that I could say was okay. My though was one month ago the baby was 4lbs. 10oz. and I still have six more weeks to grow. The doctor told me that if I go full term there is no way the baby will be under 10lbs (OMG). So it is starting to be pretty clear that I am going to have a c-section...I am very scared about this. I guess I always had it in my head that I would have a natural birth, so this is not something that I have thought about too much. Abe and I have talked about it a lot in the past couple of days and my thought right now is I just want whatever is safest for the baby.

I have definitely become a little cranky the past few days. I feel like I am getting so big and everything is such a chore to do now...even putting on socks. I am even having a hard time rolling from one side to the other. I feel like I am not ready for the baby to come but at the same I think it may be a little easier if the baby was out already.

I don't know, I guess we have to just wait and see what is to come. ~ Valarie
