10 lb baby??

We had another ultrasound yesterday. I said I would refuse the next ultrasound after the last one, because of the way I was treated by the tech. But wanting to see the baby again won. This ultrasound tech drives me crazy. She puts unneeded worry into my head about the size of my baby and suggests that the doctor is going to cut the baby right out of me in mere hours! She got me so worried yesterday that my blood pressure was 130/70 (up from my usual 100/60). Good thing the doctor is very reassuring and nothing is serious. The ultrasound said baby Wade is 41 weeks and 10lbs. I am still not a believer in it-only time will tell! The doc said everything is fine and I can schedule a c section as early as next Friday if I want, or just wait it out. I cannot make that decision right now. I am certainly tired and a c section is starting to sound okay- but I cannot give up now. To come all this way and just give up? Weak.
But baby Wade looks just perfect! His cheeks are getting bigger- where does the huge cheek gene come from?? He actually kind off looks like Sylvie in the ultrasound pics- but they are siblings after all! I cannot wait to meet him! and when I say I cannot wait- I literally mean it. ugh.
Sylvie is still doing great. She is such a big girl! She loves her big girl bed. The only problem we had recently was when she woke up early one morning and walked out into the living room expecting to see Ralph and I. Ralph was at work and I was still sleeping. I heard her crying and so sad! I went to get her from her room and noticed to door was opened, so I walked out into the living room. She was just standing there crying looking at the sofa and chair where Ralph and I usually sit. I think she thought we had abandoned her! Oh my heart broke!
Another thing I love about her right now is how she thinks all food, drinks, her bath water, and even sometimes books are too hot. She learned this from me making sure her food is the right temperature. I am always telling her to not eat yet if it is too hot. So now everything is too hot- even if it is not. The best thing about this, she says ‘who ha’ instead of ‘too hot’. For some reason this cracks me up. I should be correcting her, but I say ‘who ha’ just as much as she does now! There is nothing cuter than her looking up at me all serious and saying ‘mama, who ha. Who ha!’ to the bathwater.
Mother’s Day last weekend was just perfect! Ralph got me a massage that was wonderful! Then the whole family met up and had a wonderful lunch! It could not have been better. That day Sylvie learned to say her Uncle Sassan’s name, but still cannot say Peter (her cousin who she calls peepee ). She asks about these two all the time now.
Hopefully the next time I post will be with a new baby! 

Honestly, I think that they are totally wrong with those U/S. With Avery they promised that she was at least 6 lbs 5 oz but most likely bigger. She came out 3 days later 4 lbs 12 oz. Unbelievable! And I have another friend who had a 10 pounder and the U/S said 7! It seems to be a lot of guess work. Good luck! And I hope that you get the birth that you want. :-)
