Big Baby?!?!

We just had our appointment (almost 24 weeks). Everything looks great! The doctor was much happier with this appointment than last week (I would sure think so). He measured everything today - stomach, legs, kidneys, bladder, head, etc, etc. and he was very happy with it all. Yay! After all the measuring, he informed us that Baby Peanut is measuring in the 88th percentile, which equates to a 9 1/2 pound baby! Are you kidding me? Yikes! I'm just so shocked - Brad was 7 pounds and I was 3. Hmmm...this should be interesting! I expressed my concern of not wanting a c-section (phobia of surgery at St. Anthony). But, obviously, we may not have much of a choice because I really can't imagine delivering a 9 1/2 pound baby! Dr. Lo said he will be watching me very closely, but will not schedule a c-section just because it's measuring big. That's great, but I'm very apprehensive about having a c-section and being off work for 8 weeks. Obviously, I know I don't have much of a choice and that should be the least of my concerns, but if you know me, you know that's in the back of my mind! But, in all seriousness, I'm very happy everything is better than last week and the baby is looking good!

We are still struggling with a boy's name. We really don't have any possibilities. So, if you have suggestions, please feel free to comment or e-mail! "James" will be in the name. We have plenty of girl's names.

We worked more on the nursery this past weekend and are happy with how it is coming together. Now we just need to fill it with all the necessities...if only we were confident in knowing what all those are! So much to learn!

Thanks for reading and thanks for supporting us in the journey!! Love you all, Kari
