Baby #3 updates

I had an appointment yesterday with the OB and also had an appointment for an ultrasound. I love that my Dr. office does a "complimentary" 3D ultrasound. I say "complimentary" because we don't pay for it, but I am sure that the insurance does :) Thank Heavens for the wonderful insurance that we have!

R and the kids came with so that they could see baby C. When I told A that we were going to go see C on the tv again she wasn't too excited, but later decided that it would be fun to see the baby in Mommy's tummy after all.

Apparently C is going to be a chunky baby. We are just barely at 33 weeks and he is already measuring 5 lbs 8 oz. and is in the 90 percentile for most babies at this stage. I have a feeling that we will most definitely be delivering early.

While the lady was trying to get us some good pictures of C he kept putting his arms in front of his face and punching at the area where she had the wand thing that they use to look at the baby (I have no idea what that thing is called). I remember that A and G both were a little camera shy, but nothing like this. We were able to get 1 good picture that only shows one eye and part of this nose and the other eye.

C is more active than I remember A or G being too. He is constantly on the move, as of late his favorite time to move is right when I am trying to fall asleep at night. I am glad that he moves around so much though. I remember being scared a few times with the other pregnancies that there might have been something wrong with the baby since they moved so seldomly.

We are now on the countdown, I am guessing we have about 5 more weeks until we deliver if C keeps up the growth, and knowing my Dr. I would be delivering that early even if he weren't that big.

I am so grateful that this pregnancy is treating me so well, I usually only get swollen feet on Sundays from wearing my church shoes, and its only my feet, not my ankles. There is hardly any back pain and what I get I am sure is related to stress (since its mainly in my shoulders). I have only gained about 12 lbs so far, and hearing that almost 1/2 of that is baby makes me glad that its not a ton of ......... ummmmm "fluff", like with the other pregnancies. I am carrying in the front this time instead of all around this time too, so I hardly look pregnant unless you look at me from the side, and even then I am not that big.

So yeah there are the updates.... I can't wait to hold this little one in my arms. I know life is going to be changing Big time with adding a 3rd child into the mix, but I am super excited for our future.
