It's official, Baby Azer is a big baby. The doctor today said he is already well over 5lbs (which is almost a 1/2 lb. larger than he should be at this point) and that we will probably have to have a sonogram in the 36-37 week range to see just how big he is and make some decisions from there. I am not sure if I am comforted by this or feel even fatter. A lady on the elevator told me yesterday just how big I am, which did not start my day off very well. (As an aside, why tell me how big I am, I mean I know I am big, it certainly does not brighten my day to be told how huge I am, but I guess she meant it nicely because when I said I might just be fat she backtracked and said no you just have a huge baby...) On the bright side, I am healthy, with no real issues other than swelling and discomfort (the bowling ball analogy is right on and it feels more like 2 bowling balls but who's counting and I apparently have really low blood pressure for a pregnant lady which means I will continue to eat as much salt as I desire).
Putting a positive spin on this, I suppose I am happy that he is going to be bigger because maybe that means he will sleep better early on and grow up to be a huge boy, who can be my first athletic client (I have no issues with him being a lineman). I was a big baby and apparently slept really well so maybe this is a blessing in disguise, which means I will just have to be uncomfortable now to sleep better later....I think that is a deal I will take.
