Our BIG baby Will

We had our weekly doctor's appointment today, which included an ultrasound to check "growth progress". I debated for a week--to know or not to know? Head size, weight etc. I want to but don't. Well......we are 35 weeks tomorrow and Will is measuring at 39 weeks!! AAAGGGHHH. His head is big and he weighs 7.6 pounds. The doctor said average weight gain is 1/2 pound per week. So...9.6 pounds in another four weeks? I am not really surprised. Molly weighed 9.75 and her head circumference has always been in the 90-100 percentile range. I have just laughed all afternoon. I guess that is what drugs are for! We could be induced at 37 weeks if the doctors feel he is getting too big. We will see what happens!

OHHH, getting so anxious!! We can't wait for new cousin Will to be here! Post pictures as soon as he and his big head make their grand entrance! (Try teaching Neffy how to work the blog for us.) By the way, McCanless' big noggin has also always been in the 100 percentile!! (Big brains, I say...must run in the family!) Take care and please let us know how things are. We are so excited! Love, Kerri
