This past week I had another fabulous baby shower...this time thrown for me by Eric's wonderful aunts Rachel and Becky!!! The generosity and thoughtfulness were unbelievable! Thank you so much to everyone who contributed in any way to make the shower an awesome night, anyone who was able to come to the shower, and to everyone who showered us with love!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
And I just have to say the food was awesome! Thank you for all your hard work Aunt Rachel
and Aunt Becky! Scutt women sure know what
they're doing in the kitchen!
Eric and I are completely overwhelmed with the generosity of all of our family and friends. God has truly blessed us with amazing people in our lives!
We had our 36 week appointment on Friday that started out with an ultrasound. Each time we have one it gets more amazing to see our little man. He started out looking like a gummy bear and now he looks like a complete and chubby-cheeked little baby! We never like it when those moments in the ultrasound room end! Everything looked great! The reason for the ultrasound was to check on his size. Eric and I were both nine pounds at birth and my doctor wanted to make sure I will NOT be delivering a nine pound baby! So among many things we looked at, the ultrasound tech checked three things to determine his size. The length of his femur bone (which measured at 35 weeks and 6 days), the circumference of his abdomen (which measured at 36 1/2 weeks), and the circumference of his head (which was OF COURSE the largest and measured at 37 weeks and 1 day)! Based on these three measurements the average size of gestation is 36 weeks and 1 day. They are also estimating that he weighs 6 pounds and 3 ounces right now! A nice size little guy! :) One thing did stick out as a bit of concern to the doctor and that was my amniotic fluid. She said it is on the low side of normal which is ok for now but she wants us to get it checked again next Friday and if it has dropped, she wants to induce me to get him out of there! Eric and I are still trying to wrap our minds around the fact that this time next week, we could be holding our precious little boy! I will be considered full term so it would be totally fine if he DID need to come early!
We continue to work on the nursery and will post pictures when it is finished. Things are really coming together! Thank you for your continued prayers and support. We covet and appreciate the love we receive from our family and friends!
We'll keep you posted...
Love to you all!!!!
