Our latest ultrasound estimated our little girl to be 7 lbs 6 ozs. That is around the 65th percentile. So Liz's doctor is monitoring things and has decided we will not carry to term. If Liz doesn't go into spontaneous labor by the 39th week (about a week and a half away) then a C-section will be scheduled.
Some advice for those seeking a quick buck. Design a better way to estimate fetal weight in utero. The aforementioned weight estimate of our little girl can be off as much as 20% either way. Let me put that in plain terms for everyone. That means she may weigh as little as 5 lbs 14 ozs or as big as 8lbs 13.6 ozs. That my friends is a HUGE gap.
So if you can come up with a better way to do that, it'd be GOLD, GOLD I tell ya'.

I agree Travis...when we got our last ultrasound with Sydney...right where you guys are week wise, they told us SGM was already almost 9 lbs and in the 95 percentile. However, when she was born 2 weeks later, she was 8lb, 2 oz at birth..bigger than normal but not anywhere near what they predicted. You all are in our prayers! She will be here soon!
