Thanks! I'm hanging in there. Starting to feel pregnant!! I go to the Doctor tomorrow to discuss an early induction because of the baby already being big. I was in the hospital Monday morning with a stomach bug, ugh! But I am starting to get over that, thank goodness. I'll be sure to keep you ladies informed.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear you were sick, that's no fun! Hope you are feeling better! Get your rest now while you still can And be sure to update us tomorrow after your appt.
Keep your fingers crossed that I've progressed some by this afternoon's appointment. If not, she won't induce me and I'm stressing about this baby being HUGE! I'd love to be able to have a natural birth but if the u/s was correct and the baby was 8 pounds at my 36 1/2 week appt. and it's gaining rapidly then a c-section may end up being my only option. I'm at 38 weeks now. I've lost my plug so hopefully progress is being made - just hoping it's being made fast enough for her to see it this afternoon!! I was almost 9 pounds, my husband was 8 pounds, my sister was 10 pounds 14 ounces, her three boys were 10 pounds, 10 pounds 15 ounces, and the last one was taken 2 weeks early and was 9 pounds 8 ounces. So I don't doubt this is a BIG baby!

If it helps at all, c-sections aren't so bad. I've had three and have lived to tell about them. My first son was 10 lbs. 3 oz so I was kind of happy to have one. With big babies, c-sections are your friend!
