Well, Baby Sonny continues to grow inside my belly. He is between 19 and 22 inches long and weighs between 6 and 9 pounds. He is still approximately the size of a watermelon. I know all pregnant women feel like they are going to have a big baby, but I think Baby Sonny is going to be on the large size. My guess is that he will be 8 pounds 8 ounces and 21 inches long. We'll see!
We had another check up on Monday. We had a non-stress test and uterine fluid level check and Baby Sonny again passed with flying colors. We have one more check up on Thursday before the induction on Friday. I'm still hoping that Baby Sonny wants to come out on his own, but at least we know we will have a baby by the end of this week!
This week I am officially on maternity leave! Work has become exhausting and my doctor and I agreed that starting my maternity leave this week would be in my best interest and the best interest of Baby Sonny. So far I can't complain! I have been able to sleep later in the morning, something I won't be able to do for a looooooong time. And Jack and I have enjoyed long walks and reading outside.
I think Baby Sonny is holding out for a special birthday. If he came today he would be born on the first day of Spring. If he comes on the 21st he would share his birthday with my grandfather. If he comes on the 22nd he would share a birthday with Emilie, my best friend. If he comes on the 23rd he would share a birthday with Jack. And if he waits long enough and arrives on the 24th, he will share a birthday with me! He is going to be the best birthday present someone could ask for regardless of the day he decides to arrive.
My posting next week will include photos of Baby Sonny for the first time!!! I cannot wait!!!
