37 weeks and scheduled C-section

We had our 37 week check up today. My belly measured 46 cm today! Again the Dr. joked that we should go to 42 weeks to see how big he'll get! Brady is still breech, and we are assuming he is continuing to grow rapidly, so we went ahead and scheduled a c-section for 5-5-09...at 5 pm. How fun is that?!? Yes, the Dr. could attempt to turn him; however, she is concerned of his large size and the risks that go along with it (fetal distress, tearing the placenta, etc). She also stated today that my cervix is still closed, and if I was to go into labor, that it would be a long labor - a day or two at least. So with all that to consider, we went ahead and set the appointment for the c-section. We have another appointment and ultrasound next Wednesday to continue to monitor Brady's growth.
