T'was the night before the 41st week Dr. appt. and no baby is to be found.
Yes, little one, you have missed your due date by a week.
Your due date was Sept 3 2013 and no one thought you would make it this long. We really expected an August birthday. And as I have shared, no one wanted an August birthday for you.
During the pregnancy, your mom was told that her belly was measuring early or big several times. They actually measured you at 6.2 lbs at 36 weeks - given an approximate .5 lbs each week during the last month - you should weigh around 8.5 lbs now.
So your momma is huge. But she has a great attitude and does not seem to be miserable at all.
She is very healthy (except a little cold that has resulted in a torn muscle in her ribs) and hungry and still enjoys a good walk or swim. And of course, your momma is beautiful. You will see the pics, she is gorgeous.
Tomorrow is the 41st week Dr. appt. Your mom and dad will listen very carefully to the Dr. and midwife before a decision is made if we continue to let you grow inside the warm cozy belly or outside in your mom and dad's loving arms. God has a special plan for you. We are excited to see that plan unfold this week.
So we have been waiting ... all of us. Your mom, dad, grammy, grampa, and maw maw as well as your puppies Shelby, Sherlock and Peanut. Aunt Carly has visited your mom and dad regularly driving up to Burlington from Wilmington. We all love you and hope to see you soon.
