Big baby..... oh boy.

Matt and I went to our 36 week appointment on Tuesday and we got some interesting baby measurements. As it was before, our baby still has a big head. Yikes! It's about 3 weeks bigger than it should be. He also has long legs. I'll take credit for the long legs, but I'm blaming Matt for the big head! hehe. The ultrasound tech did a bunch of other measurements on the baby and calculated his weight... he's almost 7 lbs already!! I was actually closer to 35.5 weeks along at this appointment and at this point the baby should weigh about 5.5 lbs. With 4 weeks to go (please don't let me go past my due date!) the doc calculated his birth weight to be 8.5-9 lbs. Ahhh! This is really making me nervous! My hips have been aching lately and that's a sign that they're widening... I hope they get wide enough for my jumbo baby to make it through! ... and then go back to normal size after. ;)

Matt thought he was being funny this morning when he sent me the following picture... not so funny when you're the one who has to give birth to this big head baby! It actually did make me laugh though. Ha.
No new ultrasound pics this time (sorry!) but I did take a belly shot this morning. Here I am at 36 weeks. :)
