BIG baby boy

When we went to the ultrasound yesterday (Josh, my Mom and I) I didn't know what to expect, but I didn't expect them to find a 9 lb 8 oz. baby in there. We have had 3 ultrasounds total due to the baby always measuring a lil ahead...but the body parts on the screen we WAAAAY huger than last time. huuuge head. huuuuge belly. huuuuge...um, package. He is in the correct head down posterior position, so we weren't able to get any cute face shots. I told the doc there (not my doc, the ultrasound doc) that my sister was told her baby was 10 lbs but he came out 8.12. She said there is a margin of error, about a pound or pound and a half...so the baby could only be 8.5 lbs. right now, but he could also be 10.5 lbs. Last night I had 2 friends that told me they would be surprised if my doc didnt call me today or as soon as they get the results and have me come in to be induced.
I was too impatient so I called the dr. today. They told me I could probably opt for a c-section if I wanted to. I don't want to. They said on my next appt. Thursday we can schedule an induction for sometime in week 39 (which is next week)...the week my doc goes out of town...on 09/09/09 is the first day she is gone!!!! im so mad!!!
My sister Jana's first baby Carmen was over 9 lbs and she did it natural, so I can too. My Aunt Dru delivered a baby over 9 lbs and both of these women are teeny. So dangit, I'm not going to give up and just have a c-section.
My sister typically has long deliveries...so I am going to push for the day before dr. goes out of town...09/08/09...which is my mom's birthday. Then hopefully I'm in labor forever and have the baby after midnight...making it a 09/09/09 baby!!!!!! It's genius, right?? Cuz if he is born on 09/08/09 that is still cool! Same birthday as Grandma!
