Chubby Cheeks

As of today, we have a 5lb healthy baby boy still waiting to make his appearance sometime next month.  The ultrasound was amazing! He was so big and so cute! He is in the 67th percentile for weight and height and his measurements were right on.  We also got to see his little heartbeat which was 134 bpm.  If everything continues as is, the Doctor says we should expect our little boy to weigh in around 9lbs when he is delivered.  Yikes!!!  He will be gaining approximately 1/2 lb a week from here on out.  The doctor said he is in the head down position (as he should be at this point) which is good.  She said that is probably adding to the leg soreness that I have been having.  With him head down now he is putting more weight and pressure on the tendons/ligaments in my inner legs. 

We were able to see a lot of him especially his karate kicks!  During the ultrasound they switched the picture to 4D which let us see an actual picture of his face.  Unfortunately he would not move his hands out of the way for us to snap a picture of him but we did get to see him.  He looks so much like Loren!  He has really big cheeks and really big lips, I just can't wait to kiss them both!  It was fun watching him move around, he was yawning, swallowing and licking his hands (yes we saw his tongue).  I tell you, for so long i have been feeling this little guy kick and squirm and hiccup etc and I can only imagine what he looks like and guess which body parts are protruding out of my stomach when he kick.  But when you actually get to see him as he is moving around it is just an absolute miracle.  What a little angle he is!

Stay tuned...
