BIG BOY!

(Click on the pictures to make them bigger)

Today I am 29 weeks and 5 days. We went back to the doctor today and learned that Conner is a BIG BOY! He is only supposed to be right under three pounds but he weighs 3 pounds 10 ounces already!! AGH! No wonder I feel like I am about to bust! I haven't even been eating that much!! I don't know how he is getting so big. The doctor said that is a little big for his gestational age and also that his head is a little big. I weigh 159 pounds!! But, from what I and the nurse see, it looks like it is all baby. I'm pretty much scared to death now! Conner is just so excited to get here he wants to hurry and finish growing before his time. He must have inherited his impatience from his Mommy. Anyway, they want to keep an eye on his growth so in three more weeks I will have another ultrasound to see how he is progressing. If his head is too big, we might have a C-section, which I'll be fine with if he is huge. Other than that, he looks normal and healthy.


He slept during the whole thing today. He would open his mouth and he stuck his little lip out and frowned once. Even though he looked upset, it was so cute! He is positioned head down, face up which is good. In the pictures, you can see he is very flexible! Right now his foot and big toe are right in front of his forehead! LOL! The other thing is his umbilical chord. Can't tell about hair. I am so amazed by these ultrasound pictures. If you notice in the one by itself, you can see his EYELASHES!!!! Amazing. I posted 6 but we actually got TONS of pictures. He looks so cute in every one. I can't wait for him to be here so I can hold him! All 18 bazillion pounds of him!



Love,


Nat
