Ultrasound news

Thanks to everyone who voted in our "guess the baby's weight" poll. Here are the poll results:
5.5 to 6 lbs - 8%
6 to 6.5 lbs - 4%
6.5 to 7 lbs - 16%
7 to 7.5 lbs - 50%
7.5 to 8 lbs - 20%

Looks like everyone shared my thoughts that the baby would be measuring really big! But, he was actually only measuring a few days ahead and the estimated weight (at 36.5 weeks) was 6 pounds, 12 ounces. So, if he gains the typical 0.5 lbs a week until my due date (Oct. 22), then he'd be right at 8.5 to 9 lbs. I can handle that, so I'm not going to schedule an induction at this point. And with Uncle Erik's and Aunt Chelsea's big wedding on the 12th, we're not in THAT big of a hurry to get him out.

Oh, and by the way... we have another great u/s photo that confirms that he is "still" a boy. (Poor guy - not even born yet, and we have 2 shots of his genitals. Actually, hopefully those are the only shots of the genitals that we take now that I think of it!)
