Sooo Jason and I went to the doctor yesterday for a check-up. We had a sonogram and Alexander looked perfect!! He weighs about 4.2 pounds right now and Dr. Garner believes that he will gain another 3-4 pounds, coming out around 7.5-8 pounds. Big baby boy! Then again, I was over 8 pounds and I was my mom's smallest baby. Oh dear.
Since he is doing so well, and growing and filling out, Dr. Garner believes that I will have him in 7-8 weeks. My original due date was December 17. Now it looks like he could be born anytime from December 3 onwards. This is crazy! I am sooo thankful that he is doing well after having such a rough start, but up to three weeks sooner than the original due date? That's definitely unexpected.
Now I guess all I can do is wait and enjoy my last weeks being baby-free. Naps, movies, having time to myself. *sigh* Today I enjoyed my time by doing some shopping for some more maternity clothes. All my pants have gotten a bit too tight around my belly, so I had to buy maternity pants a size up. Also, some more maternity shirts in a bigger size. Yay new wardrobe!!
This weekend Jason has gone rock climbing and will be back Sunday. Also this week? My mom is coming to visit! Busy week for me I suppose. And busy for growing baby! Hope you have a good week!
Amy that is so amazing!! I am gonna predict that he will be 8 lbs 13 oz. and he will be 20" :D
