November 9th, OBGYN Appointment.

hey everyone!

today was a long day at the doctors. first, i got my ultra sound done. connor now weighs 8 pounds 4 ounces! some of his measurements are at 41 weeks. it is amazing. we saw him moving his mouth and doing the sucking reflex. it was so adorable. we also saw a profile shot. he looked so cozy in there and then i remembered what my new friend tiff said that boys are stubborn and get all cozy in there and often come out near the due date or later. oh connor!!

after the ultra sound, we waited 2 hours in the doctors office for our appointment. i had to walk down the hallway because i was sweating and shaking a little after waiting so long. then i found out the doctor i see the most, and was going to see that day had a family emergency with her father. the other ob's were in surgery. one came down and still had multiple surgeries and c-sections to perform and one of the midwives was there.

this appointment was really to find out what was going to go on with connor and how we should approach things. instead the one doctor that was stretching herself thin, gave me facts but could not answer any questions.. and after waiting two hours i wanted answers but i understood obviously the surgeries came first. so, connor's weight she told me is in the 90th percentile and is a big baby. his new due date according to the calculations would be november 16th. they really want him to come early but said they can not induce me or do a c-section if i needed it until 39 weeks. that is a standard rule i guess. i wish i could find out more.. *sigh* instead i came home crying with no answers and wearing myself out. i am so physically drained... the secretaries were like, "get that baby out of her!!" lol.

so, my next appointment is next friday and they said in two weeks they can do an ultra sound again to see where we are at with connor's development. ugh. that would be my 39th week!! if connor is 8 pounds 4 ounces now he can be well over 10 by my 39th week and if they wait any longer i have no fucking idea how he is coming out!!

i could definitely use all your prayers right now. i am hoping he comes out on his own soon but if not... i have no idea what is going to happen. i have a great obgyn group but of course the day i go in is the chaotic day. lol. love you all and sorry i could not call everyone... i got home and all i had was cereal today and i went out to dinner right afterwards with nick and my parents. just know if i could have called all of you i would. love you all!!

xoxo,

laurie.
