An update to last week's post.... we had our ultrasound yesterday morning to check and make sure that everything with the baby was ok since we had measured so large the week before.  During the ultrasound they measured the baby's head, leg, and the amniotic fluid.  Everything measured perfectly and right on schedule.  Oh, except for the baby's weight... they're estimating that the baby already weighs 6lb 14oz, which is over a half pound above "average" right now.  Just as we expected, we'll probably have an above average baby (Chris and I both weighed 8lb 1oz at birth, so we're thinking around that size). 

Getting the ultrasound picture of the baby's face was quite difficult.  The baby has dropped far enough to where a clear picture/view of the face was almost impossible.   We did get a picture, but it looks like the baby has a mustache.  :)  I haven't started dilating yet, so, it looks like our little Bean is continuing to develop nicely.  We're hoping that it continues to stay warm and safe for just a couple more weeks! 

I'll try to post another update after next Monday's appointment (although I'm hopeful that there's nothing to report!).
