Chris, Beka and Finley: 30 week visit and a little More!

Wednesday night I was at work and had a really busy night and didnt really stop until about 5:00am. I was so tired and just needing some time off my feet! Sooo... I have some really great friends down in Ultrasound that I have known for years from working with them through nursing school and one of my friends called me and told me to come down and she would scan me and try to get me some really good 4D ultrasound pics. I was so excited because I havn't had a Ultrsound since 18 weeks for anatomy. Rountinely the Dr. doesn't order additional ultrasounds unless there are medical reasons. I have been wanting to see him again and compare the difference in his development with the pictures from before, and 4D is just awesome! I went down and she immediately told me he was still head down, so I was still glad about that. He didn't really want to cooperate during the U/S, he held his right hand/arm in front of his face the whole time, no matter what we did to try to move it. She did give me some shocking news... He is weighing about 3lbs 11oz now, which is about 2 weeks ahead. I was like WHAT???? I can't have a big baby. She laughed and told me to chill out! She was able to tell that he has hair, and big feet too. I told her I didn't doubt the big feet thing since Chris wears size 13's. She and I laughed and talked about everything from work related things to the amazing Miracle of Life we were looking at on the screen. Tears and smiles were abundant in that room. It was great not only to see him again but to share that time with a good friend I haven't seen in a while.

Thursday morning when I got off work I went to the Doctor for my 30 week appointment. My Provider was back so it was nice to see her again. At this appointment it was just a routine OB appointment including: Weight, BP check, Measuring my belly and listening to his Heart Beat ( which I Still love to hear)! Everything was good. She said I was measuring a little over a week ahead. I didn't mention my "freebie U/S" I had the night before. I asked her about how much she thought he weighed and she said he "should be" almost 3 lbs now. I just smiled and said " I think he feels bigger". She said since I was measuring ahead she wants to do a U/S at 34 weeks, so we can see then how Big he is. Another U/S... Yeah!!!!! It was a nice short visit and will return again in 2 weeks.

I went home and asked Chris again how much he weighed when he was born. He and I both weighed only 6lbs, nice size babies. I joked with Chris telling him at least I have something to blame my weight gain on!!! Afterall, chuncky babies are Cuter right?
