Well, I'm back from today's appointment, and beating Russ to the punch to get the Blog posted for the day. Everything looks good. Jonathon currently weighs 5 lbs, 8 ozs. Typical weight at this time is about 4 1/2 pounds, so he's on the big side, but not too bad. Still, he is well on his way to the 10+ pound estimate at my last appointment. His head measurements were off today as he was settled WAY down there and they couldn't get a good shot, so - that's right - ANOTHER ultrasound! This one will be in 3 weeks. My next regular appointment will be on Monday afternoon. The MD I saw today said that once they have that measurement they will be better able to determine if there is indication for a C-Section or not. My blood pressure was a bit high for me, but within normal limits for the average person. I've been given the green light to do a LITTLE bit more activity - but still not much, and no work. I'm just lucky that I can do quite a bit of my job from home - otherwise, I'd be going CRAZY by now!

We didn't really get a good ultrasound picture to add, but we did get a "Wow - this kid has a lot of hair!" comment from the tech. You can see the halo around his head of hair. They say that the "a lot of heartburn means a lot of hair" thing is an old wive's tale, but I'm not so sure about that now! I am just so excited to see if the hair is RED!!!

Hey, I'm glad to hear your doctor's appt. went good. It's going to be pretty bad if junior comes out with more hair then his daddy.lol
Enjoy the time off, because I once complained about being bored....don't I wish I could take that back.lol
Instead of a C-section I think you should go all natural, 10lbs a walk in the park....Now that I have your attention....I love you guys and can't wait to see my new nephew....
