8 Months & 2nd Ultrasound

{34 Weeks pregnant}

At my last office visit last week, my doctor was mentioning how big I looked compared to how far along I was. I told him that this size seemed to match my previous pregnancies and with being petite, it may just appear to be bigger. He suggested getting another ultrasound done just to be sure. No arguments there! What? I get to see the baby again? :) Aubrey had the day off of school today and John took a little bit of time off of work to meet us at my ultrasound appointment. All of us were able to go into the room together and see him on the screen. While the tech was running the test, we were able to make out a bunch of things like the spikey hair on his head, his parts that definitely say that he's 100% boy, him waving to us with his hand across his face, his eyes closed, his toes wiggling, his "fat feet" according to the tech, and his heart beat beating strong. The test shows that his head measures (as well as everything else) at 34 weeks which is where I'm at right now so the due date stays somewhere around December 15th. His current weight is estimated around 4 lbs. 13 oz. My pregnancy books state that on average, they gain 1/2 an ounce a day in the last trimester so that would put him in the 6 - 7 lbs range. Both of the girls weighed in the mid to high 6 lbs so it appears that all is well. Here are a few pictures the tech was able to print out for us. A few of them didn't show up very well so these were the best of the four. Just 6 more weeks to go and we get to see him face to face. Can't wait to hold him. We're all so excited!
