Large

For those of you who have seen me pregnant...you know that I get quite large. Unfortunately I am not one of those ladies where you hear "oh I can't even tell you are pregnant!" Ok, maybe from behind, but definitely not from the front or the side. I blame it on my 9 1/2 pound baby last time, and it looks like baby girl is following suit. I was trying to avoid another c-section...but at my visit last week when I again measured 4wks ahead of schedule (measured 37 at 33 weeks), I went ahead and scheduled a c-section for August 8th. If she decides to come on her own before then, I will attempt labor...but I am not holding my breath for that one. Here I am last week at over 33 weeks (I have been horrible at taking pictures this time).


Yesterday we did an ultrasound to see how big baby girl is. Luckily she looks perfectly healthy and really not too large. I think she was about 58th percentile overall except for a huge belly...Ty had the same thing. They estimated her weighing 5lbs 10oz right now. Not huge but she is only 34 wks and I have several friends who have had full-term babies who weighed that much! So anyway, basically there is no explanation as to why I am so huge. I am just lucky that way I guess. We were unable to get a good 3D of her because she had a hand over her face and was smooshed up against the placenta. So in a month we will have a baby for sure and I cannot believe it is already so close. I have SOOO much to do to get ready for her and want more time to spend with my precious Ty.  By the way, during the ultrasound he said "no I don't want a baby." :( Um...too late kiddo...she is coming!

You just know how to grow em big! The downfall with being petite is there's nowhere for the baby to go except out. Can't wait to see pictures of her. I'm sure it's nice to know that there's a definite end in sight!

You look great Brittany! So excited for you to have a new baby in your life. Don't worry, Ty will love her (most of the time). Can't believe he is talking in full sentences! Clark still only says a handful of words. Hooray for babies!

You look great! If it makes you feel better, people asked me if I was having twins with Abigail! I can't believe how fast your pregnancy has gone. Before you know it, you will be holding that sweetheart!
