How big?

So today we had another appointment and, alas, no progress in the dilation effacement front. Our doctor didn't look too hopeful for her coming before her due date. It looks like we might be in for a wait.

We had a little bit of interesting news. Baby Girl Fung is measuring quite large. The accuracy of this information is a little doubtful to me since it is based on a tape measure held over my belly. Nevertheless, these are not words that a 5' tall person wants to hear from her doctor. Apparently the risk of needing a C-section is slightly elevated due to her size and my size. We'll have to keep waiting and see what happens.

Here below you see a picture of my belly. We have put a voting chart next to this post, so we are going to see what size you all think she'll be. Winners get a fabulous prize . . . the self-satisfaction of knowing you guessed correctly. [Dave note: Or how about her first diaper?]. We have already entered our guesses . . . Tracy - 8-9 pounds, Dave - 6-7 pounds.

39 weeks...

I'm guessing baby is going to be in the upper 7 lbs. I haven't seen too many asian/part asian babies that are larger than 8 lbs. The one exception, I did take care of a 9 pounder. Oh, and I like your nails Tracy!

Oh my gosh Tracy! I can't believe you are so big. Hopefully it's all fluid and not baby. We can't wait to see baby girl fung, but probably not as much as you. ;-)
