It's (still) a (big) boy!

Parker and I were able to have our big ultrasound appointment yesterday, and it was awesome!! There really is a baby in me... I saw it. ;) The appointment started out with the usual blood pressure and weight check etc. It was a little shocking to see how much weight I'd gained. Now, I understand that you are supposed to gain weight when you're pregnant, but still, seeing such a huge change in just a month is a little bit scary. I know it wouldn't be healthy to keep up the weight gaining rate I've had this past month.

During the ultrasound the doctor checked everything out (his brain, heart, limbs, etc.) to make sure baby was looking healthy and normal, which he is. :) As the doctor was measuring his head size, he commented that baby had quite a big head. That's not exactly surprising considering Parker and I don't have small heads either. (We need plenty of room to hold all our brains. :) When the measurements were complete, the Doctor explained that our baby is currently in the 92nd percentile for size. It was really amazing to see our little baby. He even waved to us during the ultrasound too. It was awesome to see him move around. Parker really couldn't get enough of it. He was loving every minute of it... as was I. :) We're approximately 19 weeks away from meeting our little guy in person!
