Lots of News...

Today was my 34th week sonogram. We got lots of news today...First, Hunter is breech. I knew he was because I feel his head every day right between my ribs. I know he still has time to flip, but he is a big baby weighing in somewhere between 4 lbs 11 ounces and 5 lbs 6 ounces already. The bigger he gets, the harder it will be for him to flip. The sono tech even asked if they had scheduled my c-section yet! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he will turn sometime soon. He was head down at 26 weeks and was head down for awhile, but somewhere along the line he flipped back....so we'll see. Anyhow, I have lots of pictures of him and his nursery (completed!).
The sonogram, once again, was so cool. He was giving thumbs up and "chucking the deuce" as Ronnie calls it (where he puts his thumb up and pointer and middle finger out). That's daddy's little boy! We got a good look at his boy parts again...just to double check...and he's definitely a boy. He was actually using his testicles as a foot rest (see 2nd to last picture). haha! He, without a doubt, has my nose and chin. We didn't get to see much more of his face, but the pictures of his nose, mouth, and chin are unreal. We aren't real sure whose lips he has, but they sure are nice...Ron's going to be paying close attention to the mailman's next time he comes by.
The nursery is completed! Thanks to friends and family, Hunter has the cutest nursery I've ever seen...not to brag. It has all come together so well and it feels so good to have it all ready to go. The sonogram tech said my estimated due date is now June 5th as well, so if that ends up falling into place, I have 6 weeks left.
We are predicting an 8lb plus baby considering he will gain about a 1/2 lb every week. The tech also pointed out his fat rolls...she used the term "skin folds" to make it seem a little better haha! AND he has a full head of hair. YES! I am sooo anxious now. It hits us more and more every day. Its so hard to believe sometimes. Anyhow, here are the pictures...

Carrie...... you look like a doll. The baby's u/s does look like you so far. It is strange for me, as a mother of your friend, to realize that you girls/women are of the child bearing age and are DOING So! I am so happy for you and your husband. When this little Hunter arrives, give him a smoochie from me. Congratulations and hugs.. Carol
