Eviction notice for HUGE baby

kc0721 · June 2010

Hey ladies, baby Miller will be evicted on July 15. If nothing happens b/w now and then, and we both remain healthy then we'll have a c-section that day.

I went to the Dr. this morning and my BP was up, so they did the NST and monitored me and did some blood work and everything came back normal.

As of today the baby is already 9lbs and 3ozs so I was kinda hoping for something a little bit sooner than July 15, considering he's sooo big and he still has a few weeks to put some more weight on, but hey whatever the Dr. thinks is good will work for us.

just remember the growth U/S can be off +/- 1-2 pounds.

Avery was supposed to be "well over 8 lbs" - she was 7.7 when she was born.

Good luck w/ the BP issues. Keep your feet up, watch your salt and rest!

I think so. I'm finishing up washing the bottles this week so after that I think I'll be done. I'm going to pack my suitcase tonight, just in case and download some tunes on my Ipod, but other than that I think we're good to go.

Good luck!! I understand your situation, an estimate of 9 lbs and your due date still a few weeks away! I had an measurement u/s the day before my c-section, it was 9lbs too and right on the money because DS came out 9 lbs 9 oz. I was 41 weeks though.

So baby dust to you, I hope you go into labor on your own!

I think you will go before that! My guess is by July 4th. )

Good luck!!! I can't believe your little one with be here in just a couple of weeks!

GL with the BP. toward the end my BP was up too. keep well hydrated, take relaxing baths with epsom salt, make sure you eat leafy greens and just take it easy.

congrats and GL!

Good luck with the BP, I hope he decides to come before July 15!

How exciting! I hope your BP doesn't get out of hand. Just take it easy these last few weeks, they are going to FLY by!

mrssamuels2b · June 2010

Yeah...I'm thinking he'll be here before then too...in the meantime take it easy!

I'm glad you have a date set, and hopefully your growth u/s was a little off (mine was like 1.5lbs off 5 days before my c/s).

Take it easy and keep your feet up!

Yay for having a date set! I hope your BP stays down and you get to enjoy the last few weeks of being pregnant.

You just never know with size. K was estimated to be about 9lbs at birth, she was over 10. Taylor was estimated to be just as big but was only 8lbs 14oz.

I hope your BP will level out and the last few weeks go smoothly and quickly for you!! Good luck!!!
