Baby update...Oh geez...

I have had a few people asking how things are going with me and the baby, so I figure its time for an update. I am doing just fine. This is definitely an active little guy! He seems to be nudging me continually, so who knows when he sleeps. I did have a doctor appointment today. Over the past few days I have felt like I am showing more than I should be, and when they measured me today we found out that I am measuring 3 weeks bigger than I am. 3 WEEKS! So what does that mean? Well, the baby is measuring just right for my April due date, but my uterus is measuring bigger. I am not one of those girls who has this little ball under my shirt, and I know with Madison I was pretty big, but I never measured more than a couple days bigger than I was at the time. So to measure 3 weeks bigger my doctor was a little surprised. So far I have only gained 8 pounds, so my doctor says I am not measuring bigger due to weight gain. So when I go back on New Years Eve, if I am still measuring bigger, then he wants to do another ultrasound to check the size of the baby and measure how much fluid I have. Its possible there could be more fluid than usual, or we could possibly have a baby a couple weeks earlier. We'll just watch it over the next few appointments, and then go from there. But in the mean time I just look bigger, and people about fall over when I tell them my due date is April... "You look like you could pop next month..." Gee thanks! Some people, I swear...
Sorry, no picture this time. I feel too big today and a little self conscious.

Thanks for the update. I measured three weeks bigger with Syd for a few months. At first they thought it could be multiples and one baby was hiding behind the other. I ended up catching up after awhile and measured right on. That would be cool if you had the little guy earlier!!! I can't wait to see him. Does he look like his big sis....hmmmmm???

I don't know why people think they have the right to comment on a pregnant woman's size! Honestly. I think you look adorable. That would be so fun if he came early! Although I am hoping he'll be born 2 days later than your due date so I can share a birthday with him :o)
