Notes on a BIG BELLY

My 32 Week appointment went something like this

Midwife: You are measuring 34 1/2 weeks

Me: Could my due date be wrong?

Midwife: Could be

Me: I have never measured big before

Midwife: Wow the babies head is lodged really far down in your pelvis

Me: Yup

Midwife: How many pushes does it usually take you to deliver

Me: about 5

Midwife: (still pushing on the babies head, ouch) Wow it is really far down

Me: Yes, I know I can feel it ( in truth I have been waddling for a week)

Me: so is my due date off?

Midwife: well you could be measuring big because of excess fluid, but the babies head would probably be more buoyant

Me: OK

What I was thinking: Would you stop pushing on my belly, please. I know the babies head is low I wont give you all the details, but I know!!

Well the long and short is

Pray that I have the baby a little sooner than the due date so that I will actually be able to get the little one out. My belly is all baby and even Angelo says he has never seen it this big.

Here is hoping for number 4 before Angelo's Last semester begins on the 7th of January

( a girl can dream can't she?)
