Maybe less than 4.5 weeks?!

We went to the doctor for a checkup and ultrasound today. We got the mean ultrasound tech again. She did the first one so I guess it was fitting for her to do the last one. But we don't like her at all! She's very technically-minded so she doesn't have a very good bedside manner. The other lady will actually listen to Brent when he asks a million questions (cause he's very curious since he's a nurse), this lady doesn't. But anyway. So we came away with one picture from the ultrasound that all you can see pretty much is a nose. I'll post it later.

This ultrasound was to measure things and determine how big the baby is (or at least their best guesstimate). He's 6 lbs 8 ozs right now! And I technically have 4.5 weeks left! The doctor said that he thinks we're talking mid-June now. We didn't get a chance to ask him exactly what he meant by that (adjustment of due date or meaning he wants to induce) but we'll definitely ask Monday when we go back! Personally, either way is fine by me! This appointment was also to get the Strep swab/culture. So I guess we'll find out about that on Monday too.

So we're getting down to the wire here it sounds like. I'll try to give more frequent updates as we get closer. All I know is that I need him to hold out till after June 7th! (The date of the church shower, lol.) Papaw Bean is hoping that he's born on June 11th which is his birthday. I'm just hoping he doesn't try to come out on June 13th cause it's Friday the 13th! Ahh! Though Brent would love that cause 13 is his favorite number, lol.

5 and 1/2 weeks

FIVE AND A HALF WEEKS!!!! This is daddy Bean writting in because basically i haven't written in a while. Well we are gathering more and more baby items and they are some how magically fitting in the nursery. My work just threw me a diaper shower and we now have over 1600 diapers in the house....and yes before it is said....I do know that we will use every single one of them and more. Well the baby seems to be warm and happy at the moment. He seems to be punishing Jennifers right side...making it nice and tender. He is getting to the point that you can actually see his kicks instead of just feel and say "I think that was a kick". We just keep going day by day waiting for our little screaming crying bundle of joy to appear. I seem to be sleeping longer and longer on my days off trying to store up sleep but as I have been told by many professional and non professional personel that this does not work and will not help. I am enjoying the sleep and I do not feel the least bit guilty. Well that about it from the baby front. Sorry my blogs are not as nicely sprinkled with pictures like my wife but she seems to get to the camera first. Well until next time....Bye.
