We just got back from our highly anticipated 36 week appointment with Dr. Seeker. Davis and I made bets the whole way there on just about everything we could think of- and Davis won most of them- starting with the weight of baby Davis.
Baby Davis is 6 pounds, 11 ounces today.
Davis is going to be a big boy- they are predicting he will be about 8.5 pounds when he's born. What this means is that 1) my prediction was off by almost 1.5 pounds, AND 2) he's already outgrown a few of the little newborn shirts we bought for him.
Dr. Seeker also informed us of the following today:
- Davis is in the 70th percentile for size
- My tailbone is not a problem- so no scheduled c section
- They say that you can deliver in weight up to the size of your shoe
- Davis looks really healthy on all fronts
- The due date still stands at this point
- And because we ask to check each time- Davis is definitely a boy
Anyway- it was a great appointment and now we'll go in every Wednesday until he is born. It feels totally crazy knowing that really he could come at any time- and I have no control over it. I guess this is just the beginning of that feeling, though! Time to get lax about things! Wish me luck.
Pics to come- both nursery and new sonograms.
If it makes you feel any better, they told me Ella would be close to 9 lbs. She was 7 lbs. 9 oz., so they can be off be quite a bit at times. And even if he is 8.5, he will still be the most wonderful, tiny thing you've ever held! Plus, your arms will get ripped...so, bonus! So excited for you!!
