Doctor enters room
Me "Hello, I am pretty sure that this baby is giant and ready to be born."
Doctor "Well," (flipping through file) "I can see you had a good Thanksgiving, you gained four pounds" (Doctor laughs)
Me "I told you this baby is GIANT."
(Doctor laughs again) "Lets do the ultra sound"
(Doctor starts ultra sound)
Doctor "Well, the baby is measuring at 36 weeks 2 days"
Me "are you sure?" (in a dubious tone, the baby is suppose to be 37 weeks and keeps causing me physical pain when he moves- I was sure he was at least 7 or 8 lbs)
(Doctor takes another measurement)
Doctor "Yes, it looks like he weighs about 6 lbs 2 oz"
Me "Are you kidding?"
Doctor "No, but if you are dilated to a 5 you can have the baby."
Neil (he finally pipes up) "That's not going to happen she only ever got to a 4 with Grace and that was with labor inducing drugs"
So while I had hopes of having a baby today it is not going to happen. My doctor, husband, baby, and cervix are all against me.

I was told you were 5 pounds, and too little to be born any time soon. Then you came out a few days later a whooping 8 lbs. 3 oz!
Yeah, they thought Grace was smaller then she turned out to be, so I must have hope
