Dr. Guru says.... come back in a week or so.

So, we got the follow up ultrasound to check out baby's belly and the 'normal variance' is still there, smaller and they're still not worried about it. Ok. =) He's in the head down, butt in my ribs, legs folded in front of him normal position along my right side (where's he been the majority of the time I've felt him). My weight is the same as two weeks ago and my bp was 110/74, my cervix is nowhere near thinking about being open and he hasn't dropped yet. I guess this means we're still looking at 5.19 or thereabouts as the due date.

I'm 35 weeks and he measured about 36 weeks so pretty average other than having a big belly and possibly big shoulders... I go back in a week or so (the 28th to see a different doc in the same practice- Dr. Gafori). Hopefully we're not way bigger between now and a month from now- no more Taco Bell, hehee =) 

Dr. Guru knows we're wanting to try to do this as natural as possible- I have it in my head (yes, it's a hippie granola type head) that an IV with fluids and maybe a mild pain killer in the beginning and only the possibility of an episiotomy is a lot less invasive and pleasing than having the alternative: epidural in my back, a cathader up my urethra, a monitor up my cooch and an IV administering Pitocin/BP meds/other things that I'll be so doped up  I won't know about, longer labor b/c of these things, definite episiotomy b/c i can't feel to push or end up getting a C-section..... not to mention the recovery time of major surgery.... yeah, option A, although more painful is much more appealing to me.

More later- vote on a middle name>>>>
