Your baby's the size of a pumpkin!
Baby is about 18.9 to 20.9 inches long and weighs about 6.2 to 9.2 pounds.
June 20th appointment: Ultrasound revealed we are up to 8lbs 14oz and only 1cm dilated. I have to be 3cm or exactly 39 weeks to induce, so appointment set for Monday!
June 23rd
June 25th appointment: No change... Still about 1cm. Was given three options: Wait it out, be induced Wednesday at midnight (exactly 39 weeks), or be induced Sunday, July 1st. (These are the two days the hospital has open or is willing to do inductions). Wednesday is a concern because I would need additional medication, probably deliver Friday and be released Sunday - Not wanting to be away from Cole that long, I chose Sunday the 1st. Gives me a bit more time to dilate (hopefully only needing pitocin at that point) and Dr. VDH is on call the 2nd and 3rd. Who knows.. Baby could decide to come tomorrow but this way I am guaranteed not to go past the 5th and have an extra, extra large bambino - Just an extra large one!
