HUGENESS

So we had our 32 week checkup and ultrasound yesterday and it was kind of a lot of bad news. Don't worry, the baby is healthy as far as we can tell! This is my dilemma. At 32 weeks the average weight of a baby is 3.75 lbs. Well not for my little guy. He is currently weighing in at a whopping 5lbs 4oz!! HOLY CRAP! Not only that, but apparently I also have a ton of extra amniotic fluid. So I asked the doctor about delivering him earlier than planned (we were already set to go a week early) and I found out that because of new hospital policy in IF and because of my diabetes the hospital will absolutely not let me deliver before 39 weeks!! Apparently huge baby isn't enough of a reason. I'm sure a male made this rule! Dr. Leavitt said that he would deliver me at 37 weeks so I have to go to a high risk doctor from Salt Lake to see if I can get permission to deliver early. I am also now set to go into the doctor twice every week for NST's and will have an ultrasound ultrasound every 2 weeks up to delivery! So that is why I am so huge. Other than that we are all doing well, just hoping that we will be able to get things moving along. Anyways, here are a couple of more recent pics of Carson, none of me yet but maybe I will eventually get one up before he's born :)

  1. Wow Sammi! It is suprising to me to think they would allow you to deliver a huge baby just for the sake of the gesation week. Do they want you to have a c-section?? Good luck with everything!!
