The Best Picture Yet

Today was our 29 week ultrasound. Since Peanut has gotten bigger, it was harder to pick out some things (since there's less room in the tummy) and easier to pick out others. Nevertheless, we got our best snapshot of the little guy yet. As you can see below, we got a perfect picture of him yawning. It was the cutest thing. Not only was he yawning but he kept rubbing his eyes. Amazing how much they develop in just a few weeks. You should be able to pick out his nose below with his mouth wide open. Ed was so excited he was squealing in the ultrasound room.

The doctor said that things are looking great. Peanut is still growing and much to my dismay, he is measuring about a week and a half bigger than he should be. To give you an idea - the normal weight for this week is about 2 lbs. Peanut is weighing 3 lbs 7 oz. The doctor said he isn't worried and there is no cause for concern. But we are going to have another ultrasound in 4 weeks to see what we're looking at for a delivery. At this point, we can plan for a delivery anytime from April 25th to May 4th. So mark your calendars. My only response to the doctor was "Please don't let me have a 15 lb. baby. I want to walk again."

Feet, Hands, and a Big Ole Head

Since we last posted, our little guy has gotten notably stronger. The story of the day these days is which body part he's trying to shove through my belly. Generally, it's either his head or a foot. I'm convinced both are going to be big by the feel of them. We go to the doctor on Monday for our next ultrasound. We are looking forward to seeing just how much he's grown. We'll post more info after our appointment on Monday. In the meantime, enjoy the updated pictures of my growing little basketball.

This is our 28 week picture. I'm trying to remind myself to take pictures every 2 weeks at this point.
