I went to the doctor on Friday, and they did an ultrasound to see why I'm measuring so big. Nathaniel is just perfect, weighing in at just under 4 pounds. If he goes to the due date that would make him about an 8.5 lb baby. So for us that's big, but since we don't usually make it to our due date, it's good he is a little big. I'm still measuring 4 weeks ahead, but it's just how I'm carrying him. Here's a picture of his chubby, little cheeks:
He had his hands across his face again on this ultrasound just like he did at 20 weeks. I wonder if he will still do that when he is born?. My blood pressure was better and my weight gain was fine. So I go back in 2 weeks and then 2 weeks after that I start my every week appointments. Jarod and the kids are trying to predict when he will be born. My guess is January 2nd. Not sure why- I just picked it. Sean says January 1, Jarod says Dec. 28, Ethan says around January 12, and Kaitlyn says whatever her brothers say!
We took the kids on a sibling tour of the hospital. It was great! The nurse was so sweet and answered any questions and showed them anything they wanted to see. I think it was a real comfort for Ethan to know where he will come see me after Nat's born. After the hospital we stopped at the Carter's store and picked out his coming home outfit. It's super cute! I'm starting to get anxious to see him and get to hold him. Come soon Nat- but not too soon! :-)
you look beautiful friend!! lovin' the long hair :) Praying all goes well with little Nathaniel!
ReplyDeleteI actually don't think you look big at all. I know you feel it though. Is Jarod helping to tie your shoes yet? Can't wait to see the little one. Hugs, Deskis family.
