Big Baby Boy!

            Sweet baby boy at 29 weeks!  He weighs 3 lbs. 12 oz. already!

I had an ultrasound yesterday to make sure that baby boy was growing well, to check amniotic fluid, and to make sure blood flow to the baby was good.  I have been taking medicine for high blood pressure so they just wanted to check everything.  When I had the cerclage and got diagnosed with high blood pressure the doctor told me that both of those things could cause low birth-weight.  Well...not this guy!  He was actually on the big side, 3 pounds 12 ounces already!  We are beyond excited about that.  Needless to say, no trouble with blood flow or fluid at all!  It was weird to see the baby at 29 weeks, since with Josey we only had the 20 week ultrasound.  This little guy just seemed so chubby and filled out already.  The tech was so nice and worked a little while to get a good picture of his face for us.  Baby boy had his nose pushed up against me and wouldn't move.  He loves to snuggle his Mommy already :)  I'm thinking even though his nose was a little squished that he has my nose for sure.  But of course everything else is all Daddy/Josey.  Definitely another little Daddy-clone for sure.  It is amazing to me how much all of our boys look alike.  When we saw this little guy at 20 weeks I thought he favored Asher more but now I'm thinking Asher just hadn't filled-out as much as the other boys yet and would have looked just like his brothers.  I have actually had moments of thinking I would like a girl sometime, but with all these handsome boys how could a Mommy ask for anything else?   He is such an amazing little miracle.  He needs a strong name for sure.  Mommy's body has put a lot of stress on this little guy and he is just cruising along and thriving.  I am already so proud of my new little man!
