We had another check up today. The baby is fine but starting to get quite big for Jenny's small frame. She wants to give birth naturally but the doctor is kind of hinting that it might be a bad idea. His estimated weight today is 7.27lbs. The doctor was very surprised that he had grown so much in a week. (Must have been the Christmas turkey.)If we have him this week, it shouldn't be much of a problem as he is perfectly positioned and has a very strong heart beat. However,if he decides to hold on until the due date, which is January 7th, she might need a C-Section. The weight is an estimate though, so maybe he isn't as big as the doctor thinks he is. The Taiwanese are pretty damn good at math though, so I would bet the doctor is damn close in her estimation.
Jenny is doing well though. Her feet are starting to resemble those of Fred Flintstone's but I have resisted the urge to burst out, "Yabba Dabba Dooo!" when she walks into the room. She can't see her feet, so we will just pretend that they do not look like they could power a car with stone wheels and a brontosaurus in the backseat.

Your Christmas sounds like it was fun. :) Are you painting Jenny's toenails for her so that her feet can look at least a little bit pretty? It's so exciting to think your next blog post might be about Jenny being in labour. :) Late Merry Christmas to all 3 of you!
I was hoping little Head would arrive today!! Happy Birthday you two!
I hope Jenny doesn't have a section, doctors really seem to push them these days but I'm sure they will do whatever they feel is the best thing for mom and babe.
We're thinking of you and just waiting for the phone to ring and hear, "He's here!!!"
