Healthy Baby!

Drew and I had an appointment today, and we were excited because we were able to get an ultrasound. Normally you do not get another ultrasound, but we REALLy wanted to see him so our doctor let us look at him.
Well we learned that he is already five pounds 8 ounces (estimated weight) which is very big for right now! Normal is about 3 1/2 pounds so he is mesuring about four weeks bigger! But it means he is healthy and growing well! We go back in two weeks for another check-up, and then they are going to check in a few weeks with another ultrasound to see if he is still that large. The doctor is hoping he will come naturally around 36 weeks and if not a C-section will be in store if he is too big to handle come time! We just want him to come healthy, happy, and safely!
The time is counting down!
I gained 2 pounds this week with a total weight gain of 21 pounds- which I thought was alot until I learned how big my baby was!

Your look wonderful! It's obvious that our "little" boy is taking more than his share of your food intake! Love ya! Mom

I'm so glad he is doing well. Your weight will be gone when you leave the hospital so no need to worry about that! Can't wait to see him!
