So close, yet so far...

Well, yesterday's check-up was a bit... um... bittersweet. The diagnosis? "You're not even close to having this baby... we'll see you next week!". On the one hand, I'm glad for the diagnosis because it means I have more time to spend with my kids at school before I have to leave them in someone else's hands for 6 weeks. On the other hand, I'm sad that I have to wait even LONGER to meet our son. The doc did give me some news, however, that I was definitely glad to hear. He estimates that Isaac already weighs 7 pounds! With only 3 weeks to go until the much anticipated September 18th due date, he could potentially weigh 9 (or 10 - yikes!) pounds on his birthday. Of course, these weight estimates are nothing more than educated guesses, so he could wind up weighing 7 pounds at birth. Who knows? I just hope he comes out all nice and fat.. and red-headed. Fat babies are TOO CUTE. And fat, re-headed babies are even more cute!!

Speaking of fat, here's the updated belly shot @ 37 weeks.

  3. You are beautiful!!! I love that belly. And yes, I agree- big, red-headed babies are absolutely irresistable. I'm glad he's going to cook a little bit longer to make sure everything's good to go, but I bet you are READY to be done with this part. Hang in there! You are doing a great job!

  7. He Christina hope you don't mind but I started following your blog a few weeks ago. I love fat baby's too. Connor (my 1st) was a week early at 9 lbs. 14 oz and Klayton was 8 lbs. 3 oz. I just loved their chubbiness. Congrats on your new addition....3 weeks will be here before you know it.

  8. I can't wait! We are on the list, right? I'm so anxious. You are such a beautiful pregnant girl, you'll just have to have about 10 or so. Melissa, get on those swaddling blankets, I absolutely LOVED them!
