How Big Is Baby Chhimi Now?

posted by Daddy:

During our last doctor visit – as we are going through our “group of doctors (we don’t have one particular doctor but a group so depending on the day and time we may get the one who is on call)” and getting comfortable with them – we got this one doctor – who also happens to be a dude. Well as if that wasn’t uncomfortable enough – this guy thought he was on a tryout for a Comedy Central routine. During the examination – he looks up and says to me – hey did you lose your keys or cell phone by any chance? Now I don’t know if I want somebody like him delivering my baby – but you got to wonder that was some funny shit at a very inappropriate time – but it did lighten up the situation. Should we keep him or lose him? Another weird ass thing he said was – hey the baby is like 8lbs maybe you should have started smoking. Ah the joys of parenthood is about to come down on me and slap me silly.

Alrighty, for the past 2 doctor's visit, Chhimi and I have asked the doctor to "guestimate" how big is Baby Chhimi. Well, the check-up last week resulted in a 7 to 7.5lb baby. This week's check-up resulted in a 7.5lb to 8lb baby! OMG!

We also asked whether there may be a need of a C-section since Baby Chhimi isn't due until April 9, 2006 but he's already so big! However, the doctor estimated that Baby Chhimi will still be in my tummy until next week but after next week, its anybody's guess at that point.

So here's the advice from the doctor:

• If water breaks, go to hospital immediately


• If contractions are within 5 minutes apart, go to hospital immediately

Oh boy! I hope Baby Chhimi doesn't grow too much any more as I getting quite nervous on how will I deliver him already!! Getting quite anxious!

My personal guess date is: Saturday, April 1, 2006

Anybody else care to take a guess when Baby Chhimi will arrive?
