A peek at our son

Today was my ultrasound to see how big our son has gotten since the 31-week ultrasound. Well, he's still ahead of the game in his head and belly measurements. Everything else is totally fine. He's fine, just not going to be a small baby.

At 31 weeks they estimated that he was 4 lbs. 14 oz. Today at 35 weeks they estimated that he is 6 lbs. 4 oz. This was actually a relief to me. I had myself totally petrified that he'd be 8lbs already. whew. If he comes a couple weeks early, he might actually be a reasonable size for me to push out. It's just that darn head of his...

Anyway, below is a 3D photo of him. He was actually sucking on a finger or his hand quite a bit when she was trying to get these shots. You can't tell from this photo. Evan says he must have been biting his nails like his daddy. ha.

Enjoy!

Cool picture - my momma said I had a big head when I was born and I turned out okay. I can't tell you how many times the big head story comes out of my mom. Kris and I can't wait to hear.
