So it looks like we're going to have ourselves a big boy.
We went to the doctor on Tuesday and had an ultrasound done. She said that Tyler was measuring at 36 weeks and his approximate weight was already 5 pounds 6 ounces. That's bigger than Kaylee was when she was born! I go back on May 14th for another ultrasound and she's going to check my cervix. If he gains more than two pounds by then she said that I probably won't be able to deliver him naturally becuase of my size. She also told me that I can start doing some light walking to see if that will help my cervix to thin out. Hopefully his growth will slow down a little bit and he'll come a couple of weeks early. I REALLY don't want to have a ceasarean. I guess I don't really have any control over that. I know that whatever is meant to happen will happen.
Tuesday night Holly and Rebecca threw me a great baby shower. We got SO MUCH STUFF!!! I don't know where we're going to put it all. I got all of his clothes and blankets put in his closet, but he got lots of toys and other stuff too. They're all just sitting in the corner in the living room. Pat was already having fun with all of the little baseballs and toys. I can only imagine how he's going to be when he has a little guy running around that he can throw them at. Thank you to everyone who was able to come. I had a really good time. I just can't believe how quickly time is passing now. It will all be over before we know it.

hey Kelly, My first baby was big too..my doctor talked about a c-section, too. I had my husband give me a blessing that said I would be able to do it naturally so we talked to the doctor and decided to get induced two weeks early..everything went well and we had a beautiful 8lb. 14oz. boy.:)so don't be scared to let your doctor know what you want.:) Good Luck!:)
