Holy Moly!!

So I thought that this kid was big before. I had no idea. We went in and got another growth ultrasound on Thursday and he is weighing in at 6lbs 13oz!!!! He gained over a pound and a half in 2 weeks! I mean the boys in my family like to eat, but jeez! His head and spine are measuring in at 36 weeks, his belly is at 38 weeks, and his legs are at 34 weeks. Once again he will be just like his daddy! So now I'm really anxious to go and see the high risk specialists to see if we can get permission to have him in 3 weeks instead of 5. Either way I just want to know for sure so I can stop worrying about it and just have it be a fact! But anyway we got the cutest picture of him on the ultrasound. He looks exactly like Carson! I love it! He's got cheeks like he is a couple of months old and I am just so excited for him to get here!And here are a couple of pictures of my hugeness for all to enjoy ;D

HUGENESS

So we had our 32 week checkup and ultrasound yesterday and it was kind of a lot of bad news. Don't worry, the baby is healthy as far as we can tell! This is my dilemma. At 32 weeks the average weight of a baby is 3.75 lbs. Well not for my little guy. He is currently weighing in at a whopping 5lbs 4oz!! HOLY CRAP! Not only that, but apparently I also have a ton of extra amniotic fluid. So I asked the doctor about delivering him earlier than planned (we were already set to go a week early) and I found out that because of new hospital policy in IF and because of my diabetes the hospital will absolutely not let me deliver before 39 weeks!! Apparently huge baby isn't enough of a reason. I'm sure a male made this rule! Dr. Leavitt said that he would deliver me at 37 weeks so I have to go to a high risk doctor from Salt Lake to see if I can get permission to deliver early. I am also now set to go into the doctor twice every week for NST's and will have an ultrasound ultrasound every 2 weeks up to delivery! So that is why I am so huge. Other than that we are all doing well, just hoping that we will be able to get things moving along. Anyways, here are a couple of more recent pics of Carson, none of me yet but maybe I will eventually get one up before he's born :)
