We had our 32 week ultrasound today to get an estimate of Kai's weight and possibly a change of due date. Dr. Cook has decided to keep the due date as is, but, based on measurements today it projected a new due date of May 11. So, the doctor's perspective is that the due date shall remain the same and that more than likely Kai is a big BOY (and yes, we saw even more boy parts today, so we are pretty sure the first ultrasound was correct). He currently weighs in at 4lbs 14 ounces, which puts him in the 78% percentile. So, as doctor Cook put it, if he comes two weeks early, he'll probably be at the average 7 lbs. 6 ounces, but if he waits till full term he will likely be pushing 9 pounds (yeah, doesn't seem big for some of you, but, it does to me!) and if he decides to go late, well, we may be in trouble...
And, I found out today, that doctor Cook leaves for vacation on our due date!!!
I am hoping for early, my guess (and hope!) is May 16- what's yours???
i hope he doesn't hit 9 lbs for your sake :o) may 17
