They did another ultrasound on my belly yesterday...and discovered that The Cactus is clocking in at 9 lbs. He's apparently a good grower, because that's 10 oz more than he weighed on the 5th. Yep, less than a week...10 ounces.
God Help Me.
According to the doctor, I'm not able to be induced yet. There's some medical formula (which I googled at one point and then promptly forgot) where if you meet certain thresh holds, you're less likely to require a c-section if induced. As of yesterday, odds were about 60% that an induction would end in c-section.
I don't want a c-section...so no baby yet.
However, I think my doctor's just as freaked out about the size as I am...so he's said that we will induce next Monday or Tuesday.
Maybe he saw this article...

Hang in there! The end is in sight....here's hoping that the weight estimate is + or -2lbs is towards the minus end of it!!
