If you don't move, you might just get chubby!
We had our ultrasound yesterday and our appointment today to find out how our little baby is growing inside of me. As I mentioned before, the doctor was concerned that the baby was too small because I am measuring about 4 weeks behind. However, we have no reason to worry because we found that we actually have quite a chubby baby already. I was shocked to hear that the baby is already weighing in at 6lbs 14oz at 361/2 weeks! This means that in two weeks, we'll likely have an 8 lb baby born a week and a half early. Can't imagine what we could have if I went to 40 weeks! We got a few little peeks at our baby's face, but it was actually really hard to see anything because he/she is so crunched. The baby's face is literally smashed into my right hip bone and refused to move even a little bit. The tech did get a few distorted shots of the face and it was quite apparent that this baby has super chubby cheeks. According to the doctor, our little one also is carrying quite a bit of weight in the girth...I can relate right now:) The baby really did look cute, even with the nose smashed into something. All this time, I thought I was carrying this tiny baby. I'm so shocked, but we're so excited to meet our little bruiser! Two weeks from today....or less, if I have anything to say about it!

Amy, What an awesome God we serve! Praise God your little lazy bones is growing like crazy and very comfortable... even with his/her nose all smooshed... this could be a sign of an easy going baby!
I'm very excited for you and I'll be praying as the day arrives.

Amy, I am so happy and thrilled for you that you got another peek at your little one! I'm so anxious to hear the news about whether Parker has a brother and sister; I can't believe it's less than two weeks away!! I'm thinking of you, friend!!

I am sorry that I have been such a horrible commenter this week! I haven't been feeling too great. But...
1. I loved reading Parker's birth story. Even though I was there the day he was born, it still made me cry!
2. I can't believe that the baby in your little itty bitty tummy is so big!
3. I can't believe that you are having a baby in less than 2 weeks!
4. I know I keep on saying this, but I am so excited to meet the newest Randall!!
Did you know that we are finding out our baby's gender on MONDAY!? Crazy. Crazy.
I love you!
xoxo Andi
I can't wait to see pictures of those chubby cheeks once the baby is here!
It's a good thing you're scheduled a couple weeks early. : )
