*9 Months*

We had our 36 week Doctor's appointment today and an ultrasound! Everything looks great...Baby boy is 100% healthy!! He weighed in at 5lbs 6oz, which is a little small, but he's healthy and that's what matters! Our Doctor said, "I wish all the babies were 5 and 6 lbs--it sure would make it easier on all of the Moms". The baby has completely dropped and is as "far down as he's going to go", per Dr. Wingo. We go back next week, as we're on our weekly schedule now. Below is a picture from the ultrasound this morning...it's not 3-D so it's a little hard to figure out what is what...I've posted the profile view of his face. That's his hand, also, below his chin...he kept putting it in his mouth! So cute!

We went to class 1 of the birthing series on Saturday. It was so informative and definitely something worth attending! We watched birthing videos, learned about all of the emotional and physical changes during labor, and Eric got to wear the "Empathy Belly" for half an hour! Hilarious! It's 30 lbs total, which is great since that's the most I gained at one point during the pregnancy. I wish I'd asked him to tie his tennis shoes while wearing that thing!

I hope all the moms had a great Mother's Day on Sunday!
We'll be sure to keep you all posted on any progress or updates!
