The Scoop

You heard it here first, folks. Tonight at 9:00pm MST I am being induced. Guess when the ultrasound suggests that you're having a NINE POUND baby, they let you go early. AAAAaaaaaahhhhhh! NINE POUNDS?! Please, dear Lord of heaven and earth, let that ultrasound be wrong, wrong, wrong.

Think of it this way - that is 9 pounds of weight gone!!! :) Yikes! How did you get such a big kid inside your little body? I will be crossing my fingers for a smooth, fast, easy delivery. :)

Oh dear, Laurel. I'm sure that everything will be ok. My mom in law had a 10 1/2 pounder. Thank goodness for drugs! :) I can't wait to hear about his arrival. Text me, sista! :) Loves.

They thought Sophie was at least 9 1/2 pounds (three weeks early). She came out 7lb. 10oz. The sad part was that the other pound and a half was actually just my behind! Good luck, sweet momma. We will say a prayer for the Wicke family tonight. Love you!!!!

Jen said...

Yeah!! Congratulations. Please update as soon as you can--with pics! I won't tell you until after about my ultra-sound experience or my son's weight! LOL!!!

Many blessings!!!

I hope all is well.... I am so excited just thinking about it. Birth is wonderful and a newborn is the most precious thing ever!!!

Britany said...

Oh I can't wait to hear!!! The good thing about a big baby is they eat and sleep well. As far as coming out, don't have any experience there :).

Hi Honey...the other day at the grocery store I threw a ten pound bag of flour under the cart. Apparently I popped a hole in the damn thing because not long after I heard overhead about a 'clean up' on aisles 4, 5, and 6. I thought of you the whole time. By the way a ten pound bag of flour is heavy...I'm sure your tummy is holding only 6 or 7 pounds of sweet, sweet sugar...just like you! Welcome to our world little Wicke baby!!!!

Oh, man. That was 12 hours ago. You very well could be loving on that baby right now!!! I sure hope so. Connor was nine pounds, two weeks early. You will survive and still love it!

Can not wait to see the little guy.

WA-HOO!!! Except eat stuff beforehand because they try to STARVE you in the hospital, while bringing your husband a hamburger and FRENCH FRIES! Not that I'm speaking from personal experience or anything--but seriously, if I have to go into surgery, what does my full stomach have to do with it?

Yeah the ultrasound can be way off--it was for me once, but on my last baby, it was eerily right. He was a big boy.

Can't wait to see pictures of the new little man.

Elisa said...

Congrats lady-jane! I can't wait to see pictures of the little peanut!

Shoot for only 1 push. I hear that's the way to go! ;>
