Okay, so I know some of you have been getting on to me about not updating this... but when there really isn't anything going on, what am I supposed to post?! But now that something is going on, I'll let you all know about it!
Yesterday I had a growth ultrasound done (36 weeks and 3 days pregnant) I was kinda confused when some lady I'd never seen before took us back into the u/s room and started doing it... I thought my doctors office only had one u/s tech, Katherine - so I asked and this lady said she was new and still learning. Well after a few minutes Katherine walks in the room, as she walks in she apparently looked at the screen and practically yells "That is quite the head of hair on that baby!" LOL, okay, well, I didn't know you could see hair on an ultrasound but apparently you can! And apparently Jordyn got her Mommy's head of hair, NOT her Daddy's! So a few minutes later they were measuring the fluid around her and there was suddenly a big ol' baby foot in the middle of the screen... I said something about how it looked pretty big, and they were both like "um, yeah, that's a really big foot..." So okay, now we know she has my hair and Colin's feet! As Katherine is measuring her head I'm asking her how big Jordyn really is and she looks at me and says "I'm not sure I want to tell you... Maybe I should wait and let the doctor tell you..." I keep pushing (cuz I'm obnoxious like that!) and she tells me that Jordyn is measuring at 4o weeks already! Later I looked at the screen while she was messing with measurments and stuff and could see that it said she was in the 96th percentile of 40 weeks! That's a BIG baby!
Well, my actual doctors appointment wasn't until 2 hours later so we went and got some lunch and decided over lunch that we've found Bigfoot! I also sent a picture on my cell phone to my mom of the picture of Jordyn's foot and her response was "Call the National Enq. You've got Bigfoot!"
The doctors office that I go to has a bunch of doctors in the practice and I'm supposed to see each one of them at least once so I can meet them - so yesterday I was meeting a new doctor that we hadn't seen yet. She walks in, introduces herself and pretty much starts laughing about how she meets us for the first time and she gets to be the one to have "the discussion" with us. Huh? So she tells us that Jordyn is measuring 7lbs 9oz in the ultrasound! I was only 7lbs 10oz when I was born!!! So she asked me if I had any definate ideas of how I wanted to deliver and I told her sarcastically if she wanted to head to the hospital and get her out right then, I was game! So basically we decided with how big Jordyn already is, we're going to have a planned c-section. My doctors will not "induce" just because of size so it's either wait and see what happens or have a c-section. I have no issues getting cut open to get her out, ESPECIALLY if it makes it happen sooner! So that's what we're doing! She asked us what doctor we wanted to have do it and we said we liked both of the ones we had to choose from so we didn't care and so she said when I go in next week Thursday for my appointment she will have a day, time, and doctor booked and ready for us!
So we're gonna be having our little Miss Jordyn sometime between Sept 5-8... We'll find out this coming week when exactly!
