Mega-Baby?

Had yet another ultrasound today- this time because they were worried he would be over 9 lbs by the time we had him. Although it seemed a little unnecessary, I was trying to be optimistic about it...

#1- He measured 7 lbs. 12 oz. I'm curious to see how accurate the ultrasound is. I guess if I go to 40 weeks he could get close to 9 lbs, but it's not likely he'll be that big.

#2- He has even MORE hair than last time we saw him. It is really long on the back of his head. Too bad he's not a she so we could go straight to ponytails. ;)

#3- The cord isn't wrapped around his neck.

#4- He is still head down, ready to go.

#5- His heart, kidneys, bladder, the placenta, and the amniotic fluid all look good.

My Dr. was called in to the operating room so I didn't get a chance to see him and find out how things are progressing. I'm very curious though. I've had lots of good contractions and think it could happen anytime. But I'm still feeling pretty good, so I'm just trying to be grateful for the time I have to get little odds and ends done before he comes. Oh, and lots of cuddle time with my girls.

Last night a couple of my new friends here threw me a baby shower. I was truly overwhelmed by how many people from my ward and neighbors(who have only known me for 2 months or less!) came and how generous they were. Our little guy will not be dressed in pink now. :)

I can't believe you're full term already. Glad everything is looking good and can't wait to see this little guy (and all his hair!).
