My BIG baby

I had a big ultrasound on Thursday (yesterday) where they measured Joshua to make sure his growth is on track. Well, lets just say there is one part of Joshua that is a little bigger than the rest!! My baby has a HUGE head! His head is measuring 37 weeks while the rest of him measures 32 or 33 weeks. I am not sure what all this means because the doctor had to go do an emergency c-section before I was done with my monitoring. According to the due date the doctor is using I was 33 weeks when I went in. So, everything looks good except the head! The ultrasound tech was also looking at the heart for a long time so I hope that doesn't mean something is wrong. I don't want to have to go through all the cardiologist appointments with Joshua that we went through with Andrea. For those who don't know, Andrea had a hole in her heart that was 4 mm when she was born. It slowly closed and at the two year appointment it was fully closed but she does still have an irregular heartbeat and a murmur. Both of which she should grow out of.
