Today was another ultrasound and weight estimate. Spencer performed wonderfully doing the proper practice breathing and was plenty active. There is no question or need to worry if he will live up to the hype of being a big baby like his older brother. Spencer is chunky! I mean the kid already has what I like to call "kissin cheeks" and he still has another 3 weeks to grow. Right now he is measuring at 37 weeks gestation (as opposed to the actual 34) and is weighing in at 7 lbs. The ultrasound sound tech. (bless her heart) said, "That's okay, on average a baby gains 1/2 a pound a week, so that would make him more like 8 or 9 lbs!" I just smiled thinking in my head, "yeah right lady...there is nothing "average" about my babies!!!" But I guess there is no harm in hoping. Don't get me wrong, I'd love it if they pulled him out and he wasn't massive, but I have to realistic too! We have scheduled the rest of our visits/ultrasounds and the c-section. Ben still doubts that I will make it to the scheduled c-section, we'll see. One thing is for sure, ethier way we will have another chunky little boy in our family by the end of April.

Love those cheeks! I can't wait to see who he looks like when he makes his debut! And I just laughed at what the tech told you about his weight! There is FOR SURE nothing average about the weight of your babies! I love that they are already so chunky when they are born! Hope you can hang in there a little longer! Can't wait to hear when he comes! I'd better get a call or email!!
He's so cute! I love his cheeks, too. But I'm guessing you think those chubby cheeks will be a lot cuter when they're out of you!
I love the second picture. I can't wait to see your chuncky little baby boy.
When is your c-section scheduled for? You didn't put a date!
Those cheeks are most definitely "kissing cheeks"!
YEA for kissin' cheeks! I can't wait to meet this sweet little boy!
I so look forward to going camera happy on little Spencer, as well as your other two sweeties. We'll have to pick a day (after he is born of course... which is going to be here before we know it!) when I can ditch my kids and just come snap snap away at your little ones.
Those pictures are amazing! He is so stinkin cute, can't wait to meet the little man!
I am excited to meet your new little chunker. I can't believe its almost time for him to arrive, I remember the day you told me you were expecting. Good luck with the last couple weeks.
he already looks so cute!! We are so super happy for you! I hope all goes well! I just remember that first day you brought Natali home and she was in her little tanning bed with the goggles and all... Time flies. What are your plans for post-ped. school? Texas? :)
WOW!!! i can hardly believe he will be here that soon!...it seems like only yesterday isaac was born and then my chase was born and then you said you were prego with #3 and I told you I was preggo at your polar express party!...TIME FLIES!!! holy cow...hes going to be so stinkin' cute! though...cant wait to meet him...I would like to bring you a meal!
Hey congrats! I hope all goes well. I was blog surfing today and I came across your blog- saw chunky baby and had to read. and I can totally relate. I just gave birth to a 10 lbs. 10 ounces. girl a week early. I had a c-section too. the doctor had to cut bigger because she got stuck. She even tried the vacuum. Mine just keep getting bigger, I am scared to have another one! anyways, good luck!
Yea, good to know he is healthy and kicking!! You guys have to be getting so excited!!
He's so cute! I love kissing cheeks. Hang in there, it's almost time!
Ah! I can't get enough of those cheeks! This technology is AMAZING
Hope he's not too big, and hope the delivery goes well! I can't believe you are going to have 3 soon, you are amazing!
Spencer is a cutie. We can't wait for him to make his grand debut and to meet him this summer! Hang in there- he is almost here!!
Oh my! Look at those cheeks! What a cutie he already is! Big boy too!
