I just returned from my final ultrasound to check Quinn's size, and I am officially terrified of giving birth! The results predicted Quinn's weight to be 8 pounds 2 ounces already (I still have a little over two weeks to go before I'm due). I was hoping to give birth to a baby less than 8 pounds!
In addition, when they measured his head the machine said 40 weeks 4 days (I am 37 weeks 5 days). I know that the Gillettes tend to have big heads, and it seems as though Quinn is following suit. I did ask the technician, "So, what's the margin of error on these things?" He assured me that there is room for some error, but that the equipment tends to be accurate within 10%-15%.
The latest advice that I received to help induce labor was to walk stairs (thanks Raine), so I guess I'll give that a try. It's time for Quinn to join us and continue his growth spurts outside of me!
Hang in there love! I'm praying for you. I can't imagine the anxiety and excitement you are experiencing. Can't wait to meet the little guy.
