little g update

The skin on my stomach feels like what I would assume a hot dog on the BBQ feels like, just before it splits open. Can it get any tighter? I have to stay out of sporting goods stores because I look like I am smuggling a basketball under my shirt.

Anyway, I had another doctor appointment today and I am a bit discouraged. Apparently I am still 4cm and 80% effaced. Fine. I didn't get to see my regular doctor as he is on vacation, and the doctor I saw last week was out on an emergency c-section so I was seen by a third doctor today. She gave me information that contradicted what I got from the first two doctors in the previous weeks.

My regular doctor kept telling me (with a smile) week after week that I was going to have a big baby (8+ lbs) and the doctor today said (right around 7 lbs). To me, that 1 lb is a big difference. Not that I can do anything about it anyway.

The doctor last week said the baby was really really low, and today the 3rd doctor said he is still high. Although, it looks like he has dropped and it sure as hell feels like he is about to fall out. Maybe he is scared to come out and is creeping back up. Poor kid, I can't really blame him.

Grrr. I really wish I could have the same doctor every week.
