So my suspicions that William has gotten a lot bigger over the last two weeks have been confirmed! At our last appointment three weeks ago (34 weeks) William was estimated to weigh 5 lbs 12oz and his head was the size of a full term baby and overall body length was three weeks ahead. On Tuesday, (37 weeks) we got another ultrasound...Lee and I took bets going in on what he was going to weigh. Lee guessed 7lbs 1oz and I guessed 7lbs 6 oz...we thought it was impossible to grow much bigger than that. Well, William is weighing in at a whopping 8 lbs 1 oz. with three weeks left of packing on the pounds. We've heard that these weight guesses can be really off...but the dr. feels very confident of William's size because his length measurements are so ahead (not to mention I am quite large right now)especially his head..as I've mentioned before :)
So...all that to say we will be going in for a c section on September 8th at 6:30 in the morning. Our dr. feels that the chances of me being induced and then going through hours of labor only to end up having a c section are really high and that the risks involved (i.e. baby breaking a bone, baby breaking one of my bones, baby getting stuck..etc.)are not worth it.
That is the plan, unless God decides that's not best and I go into labor early! We will keep you all updated here as soon as William arrives. Can't believe he'll be here in a little over a week...ahhh! Lee and I really appreciate all of your prayers...keep em coming!

definitely don't want him getting 'stuck'. that does not sound good. praying for you! :)
