So, I was very excited about this appointment. Three weeks ago, Owen measured 6lbs4oz. We were shocked! This put him in the 85th percentile. Today's appointment was for the purpose of measuring him again to see the progress. If Owen fell into the 90th percentile, then we would talk about induction or c-section. I was voting for the induction!
Well, as everyone warned me (and I turned a deaf ear) those measurements are not accurate. This appointment showed that Owen was STILL at 6lbs4oz, and has dropped into the 45th percentile, categorizing him as small. WHAT!?! Talking about an emotional tease!
Now, I have to be on the monitor every visit for 20 minutes to make sure everything is going OK. I don't mind that, because I always have the fear that they missed something. But, there goes my hopes of an induction.
Most of the size predictions that I have heard of usually are a lot less at birth. Noooo!!!! Owen! You stay in that warm, comfy, cozy place as long as you need to. I just ask that you wave your magic wand to speed up time! Your mom and dad are like little kids counting down until Christmas, and knowing that this year we'll get the best present in the world!!!!!!!!!!!
