Baby Corbett is big already!

My belly is measuring a bit big, so my OB set up an ultrasound to get a better idea of how big Baby Corbett is. Turns out, he's estimated at over 7 pounds already! And I've got five weeks to go! Babies typically gain 1/2 pound each week during these last weeks so let's see...drop the 5, carry the two...he'll be 9.5 pounds at 40 weeks! Okay, that's not too awful. But his head! His head is measuring 35 cm, which is the typical size of a baby's head at 41 weeks! If they use his measurements to recalculate a more appropriate due date, it would be May 26. Oh, and did I mention he's still breech? Yes, all those things I thought were kicks at the top of my belly were his head! I think I'm starting to see a c-section in my future. I have my next OB appointment on May 21. We'll see what the doctor recommends. I would prefer not to have a c-section, but I'm okay with whatever needs to happen to deliver him safely.

More importantly...we got to see our baby again! He was moving all over the place! His eyes were open and looking around. His feet were often up by his face and he kept moving both his legs and arms. He was moving his head from side to side. It was incredible to be able to see AND feel what I was seeing!

Here's lookin' at you, kid! Is this a sign of things to come? He's already looking and posing for the camera.
