Whoa . . . Only 3 More Weeks (or less)!!

We had a doctor's appointment today and Nicolas Alexander has gained almost a pound in the last two weeks! He is now at an estimated 5 pounds and 1 ounce. Dr. Lacey is pleased with his progress, though our little man is still only in the 25th percentile for size at this point. But, he is proportionate and appears healthy. We have just over 3 weeks until the due date and Dr. Lacey explained today that it is not healthy for the baby to go over his due date because small babies have certain risks with blood pressure and other issues over a certain time period. While I would rather not have him medically induced, we agree that we will do what we need to for the baby. With that in mind, if Alexander has not arrived by March 20th, we will induce either on the 20th or 21st. It is crazy to think that he will be here within 3 weeks!!!
