37 weeks.... and counting

So I went to the doc again today and I have made absolutely NO progress. It is so frustrating. I am at 2 cm. and 50% effaced. Grayson still hasnt dropped. Last week when I went in my uterus was measuring 37 cm. This week?? 42 cm. Are you freaking kidding me? WOW!!! Even the doc was very surprised by that, considering it should be 40cm. at 40 weeks. He was so surprised that he decided to measure again and it was the same. He said if I go full term, three more weeks, Grayson will probably come out weighing 9.5 lbs. That is just insane. Grant was 7 lb. 15 oz. and he came out with no pain meds, but i.5 lbs. is a big difference. And we already know he has a big head. YIKES!! The thing I am worried about is that big head being able to fit through the birth canal. I really dont want to be induced. I am not affraid of the pain that comes along with naturally birthing a HUGE baby. I am only affraid that he may get stuck in the process. That can be dangerous. If my body will physically let my HUGE baby boy come out vaginally and without any meds then that is absolutely the way it will happen. But if they are going to induce me or (Heaven forbid) make me have a C-section, then I want it to happen NOW!!! I know it wont, because my doc is a wait-and-see kind of guy, but oh well. I learned the hard way last time around, that you just have to go with the flow and whatever happens is going to happen. It's called a birth plan not a birth script, right?
Well, until next Tuesday, happy sleeping to you all!
