No size 0000 for us!

We had another appointment with the Obstetrician on Friday. The good news is that Meeks' condition has stabilised and that she and the baby are healthy. We got told the baby is already a very healthy 3kg (about 6 pounds 6 ounces) which puts it in the 97% percentile for size. If the baby went to full term the doctor estimates it would reach about 11 pounds! The head size is in the normal range, it's just a bit big around the belly and shoulders. The doctor said even if the baby was born now it would be fine, but he hopes to keep it in until the 37 weeks but will be happy with 36 weeks. So we will be seeing our little one in 2 to 3 weeks all things going well. That is a late April birthday. Meeks is going along well although she does have some discomfort from time to time, just associated with carrying the baby. The itching has pretty much gone away which is great.
