Update on Little Levine
Had my ultrasound today. Little Levine is going to be a big baby. He's already between 6lbs 5oz and 6lbs 10oz (approx) and I'm only 34 1/2 weeks! Since babies gain about 1/2 lb a week in the last month alone, that's estimating this kid to be around 10 lbs! So I'm told to take it easy, and not to over do it, and avoid stress so not to induce early labor. They were doing a good job reassuring me that everything is ok, but there going to keep an eye on his size. Even though he is big at this point his lungs may not be fully developed yet. So they still want him to cook a little longer. I'm now measuring a full 2 weeks ahead of schedule due to his size. I delivered Zachary at 36 weeks, and he was 6lbs 10oz. Im 34 weeks and he's already that big! They said this baby's head is the biggest part of him and there concerned that if he gets too big he may not fit without having a C-section. Kinda scary. And that big head has lots of hair. God help me if he has his daddys shoulders! They were going to forward the results to my Dr today, but I don't see her till next Monday. Ive had a feeling all along that I was going to go early, but Im not ready for this early! Then again, Im guessing that its not up to me at all. This time, he's calling all the shots!

Wow Sal!! Looks like you have another football player to add to the roster!! Don't get too anxious just yet...everything will be fine. If you need any C Section reassurance, you know where to come! It's not that bad...I thought the worst part was the epidural, so if you're planning on getting that anyway, it'll be a cinch!! Hang in there Little Levine...your time will come!!
