B.O.B big ol' baby



Hello all! Thanks so much for all the love and concern over the past 2 weeks, I am feeling much better! Brett and I went to see Dr. Iriye on Tuesday for a double check up on the baby's size and my blood pressure. Everything is just fine with me, apparently my regular doctor's nurse isn't taking my blood pressure properly(sitting down, arm at heart level, large cuff and with an electronic pressure cuff)So when the nurse at Dr. Iriye's took it I was back down to a normal 121/86 YIpEeE! Our little guy is doing really well, he is growing like a weed. From all his measurements he is weighing in at 5 lbs 11 oz already. Yes you heard right, he is about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks ahead of the normal timetable.His due date is still not until the 15 of march but I have a feeling we are going to have this little guy a lot sooner than that. We are at 34 and 2 days and statistically he can gain 10oz to a full 1lb every week in the last few weeks. I'm not a small person but a 10lb-11lb first baby whoa. We have another appointment on the 14th with Dr. Sherrod and then one more with Dr. Iriye on the 19th for some final measurements. The little guy is right where he needs to be and so the ultrasound pictures aren't so great. He is looking right at us but didn't want to move at all to get some better pictures--little stinker!

glad the illness is going away-- I am sure it was the green jello that helped.
Big babies are good! They like to sleep.

Great job you excellent little incubator! We love them big--they are happy and like to eat (& sleep)! So proud of you Jamie--can't believe we are getting so close to the big day!

I really can't believe you are so close! I am so excited to see the little guy. And I am VERY glad that you are feeling healthy again. I'm going to start tomorrow to work out and do some heavy cleaning and other things to see if I can get my babe here early. :) I'll be 37 weeks on Friday! Have you started to nest yet? My microwave, closets, cupboards, stove, floors are all looking pretty good these days. I still have a lot of little things, though, that I still want to get done. Strange thing, this nesting business. Sure love you, James.
