whoa baby!

So, Friday we had our 30 week appointment, which included a 3D ultrasound.....super cool!! It was so neat to get to see our little guy and get a better picture of what he's gonna look like. Makes it all feel very real and very very exciting to finally see him and hold him!

He cooperated really well, so we got some good pictures! They also did his measurements before they started taking 3D shots and let me tell you, I was shocked! They'll get a good shot of his head and his belly and measure around them, while they're measuring you can see on the screen about how far along it puts you. When the tech was measuring his head it was showing 34 weeks! I thought, okay, maybe he just has a big head....but he was still measuring at 34 weeks after he did the other measurments. They estimated his weight at 4lbs 11oz!!! Basically he's HUGE considering I'm at 30 weeks....most babies at this point are right arounf 3 pounds. I passed my glucose tolerance test, so the doctor said it's definitely not gestational diabetes...he said it looks like i'm just bound to have big babies. They also said that at this rate I'm looking at a 10 pound baby, at least! Excuse me?!

Needless to say i freaked a little at the thought of pushing out a GIANT, but McKernan is awesome and made me feels tons better. We're gonna have another ultrasound to do big boy's measurements and see where that will put me for delivery. Most likely I'll have to be induced somewhat early...just depends on how big he gets.

Certainly makes things interesting, but either way i'm SO excited to finally see him, and super happy that all is well and baby is doing good!

Charlotte's Web

if you've seen the movie than you know EXACTLY what i'm talking about.....

I am sitting at my desk and out of the corner of my eye i see a tiny, little, baby spider floating down from the ceiling. I started to watch it make it's descent when i noticed 2 more little spiders making their way toward my desktop. I had a flash back of Charlotte's Web, when after Charlotte dies, 3 of her daughters float down and start talking to Wilbur....

They were holding on to their little web string swaying all over the place, and it took them a while to finally land safely on my desk. As soon as they were on the flat surface, I SMASHED them!! Cruel?? I think not! Needless to say these little spiders did not talk to me in sweet voices and they were NOT cute happy girl spiders with big eyelashes.

Hopefully whoever their momma was, didn't have as many babies as Charlotte, if so, I am finding a new office!

30 WEEKS! Holy smokes people, i only have 10 weeks until I get to finally meet the little man of my dreams and I am SUPER excited! I haven't gotten nervous about it yet, I just think i'm too excited to feel nervous! I can't believe it's gone by so fast, i'm a little worried that this last stretch will feel really long, but who cares, he'll be here soon!
