Huge

I had a doctor's appointment yesterday. All is well, I'm just huge. Rosebud is consuming more calories than I can give her, I'm afraid, and though she's growing the scale is going down. I guess I shouldn't complain. She's still measuring bigger than her gestational age, about 2 weeks ahead. The doctor has said twice that she will be a sizable baby, but hasn't guessed how big just yet. I have had this scientific theory since we set the c-section date that she'll be about 8 lbs 8 oz. I told my doctor this at my last appointment, and all she said was "uh huh" in a very dismissing tone. Not sure what that means. Blood pressure is good, sugars are good, no edema. By this time with Adam, I couldn't wear my wedding ring and the only shoes that fit were flip-flops. So things are going well. But other than that, I feel like I have a basketball between my legs. I'm carrying her very low and it makes it hard to walk or do anything, really! Her room is just about done and so we're ready for her to make her debut in just a few weeks. I see the doc again on June 24 and July 1 and then baby will be here.
