Today I had a check up. I'm 36 wks and they really want the little guy to cook a bit longer. However concerned about his size and decrease in movement, I got to spend 5 HOURS at the hospital today. I had 3 ultra sounds done and a bunch of fetal monitoring -which I had contractions all the way through. The break down...baby is still a boy --and proud of it-- he looks healthy and potentially big measuring at about 8lbs 7oz right now. The girls were only 7lbs 8oz each. The ultra sound can be off by a pound and a half either way, so I'm PRAYING that he is only at about 7lbs right now. He was busy snoozing and had no interest in showing off his kicks, flips or punches, which is why I was monitored for so long. I did get some pictures, and that is always fun to see your little one growing.
For anyone needing help, this is a face shot, his lips look similar to CJ's but I really can't say he looks any different than any other baby ultrasound picture.
Thankfully he is not in distress and appears to be very healthy. I'm also grateful that today I found a neighbor to watch the girls, since normally they come along and love to listen to the heartbeat as much as I do. The girls did well for Angie, I felt really bad not taking an supplies for her, I really thought I'd be gone for maybe an hour. Laurelei took a nap for her and CJ and Burke played well the whole time.
The nurse also mentioned that I should have a coke and some chocolate...that'll stimulate him...that is treatment I can handle!

Oh my goodness, that could be a jumbo size baby. I hope they are off by a pound.
Haha, on a side note...I will be using my blog for all the noteworthy moments as well. I hope I will get a chance to start scrapbooking again when I get back to WA so that will come in handy.
Hello ladies there is a company on the internet that takes your website and makes it into a physical scrapbook for you. I will figure out the name after Christmas. Heard about it from some ladies around here. Cyndy, baby looks great!!! So cute. Can't wait to meet him!!! Glad everything turned out well!!
