5.13 oz

We had our regularly scheduled 36-week appointment and sonogram on Tuesday. Parker is estimated to weigh 5.13 ounces, which is at the 40th percentile. The doctor suspects that by March 3rd he will be just short of 7 pounds. I apologize that I don’t have any more sonogram pictures, but when they are this large it is very hard to get a good shot of them. Our tech did manage to get a pretty good footprint, which is what you see above. I had another exam with the doctor and she said that I am still holding strong at 1 cm dilated and 80% effaced. She doesn’t think I will make it to March 3rd because of the number of contractions I am having, but we are not going to reschedule the c-section date. If I do go into labor early I will get a c-section at time. She also confirmed that my pelvic arch is still abnormally narrow (about 2 inches) and there is no physical way I could deliver a normal size baby vaginally. So now the waiting game begins, we are currently at t minus 19 days until D-day!
