Do big headed babies run in your family?

"Do big headed babies run in your family?" is a question you really don't want your ultrasound technician to ask..especially when you have high hopes and expectations to vba2c. Then you look up to see that your baby's head is, in fact, measuring two weeks ahead. Damn. Eh, but that's alright, it's fine, it will all even out.... Then she lets you know the baby is an estimated 3.8 lbs. Really? Are you sure? Because the email I got just this morning said the baby should be about 2.5 lbs. LIES! All LIES! Butternut squash my ass.
I think my main concern is that the Dr will start pulling the big baby card on me...saying that a vbac will not be safe if I'm going to have a ginormous 10 lb baby (exaggerating). There are people that will give opinions and say that the Dr knows what is best and I just need to listen to them. Well, those people do not know just how important this is to me. This is something that I feel like I NEED to experience. On top of that, I really don't want to go through that [major surgery] c-section recovery again...especially with a two year old. I know I can do this. Now it's a matter of whether my body will support my decision or not. My fingers are crossed and my prayers are being said...maybe you can spare some too? I promise to tell you EVERY detail if you do. *wink*
[[update]] I should also add that I am not going to let scare tactics influence me in any way, only facts.

Other than that, everything is going well with my placenta. Yep, still all healed! So much that the Dr said you couldn't even tell where the tear was before. So, that was awesome news!



Well, here I am .... feeling larger than life.
