We had to go see a Perinatologist today. The hospital has this new rule that nobody can be induced before 39 weeks, so my doctor needed a back-up opinion. Long story short, we are all set for Tuesday delivery (38 weeks).
At the Perinatologist, we got another ultrasound, which was great - because they got this great face shot of Baby Harris. Reilly was there with us and really enjoyed seeing the baby and hearing the heartbeat (and climbing on the bed, breaking the blinds, screaming, typical things that happen when a two year old is sitting in a doctor's office for 2 hours when she should be napping ;-)).
According to the ultrasound tech, the baby is weighing in at 8 pounds, 11 ounces...so if that is right, we'll be over 9 pounds on Tuesday (ouch!). Reilly was born at 37.5 weeks, the day before she was born the tech said she weighed 8 pounds, 3 ounces and sure enough - she weighed in at 8 pounds, 4 ounces.
(No comments about how chubby the cheeks look ;-) We are hoping that is just from being squished against the uterus.
So, you'll be hearing from us in 4 days with news of the arrival.
