Baby Update!

Baby Lewis #3!!
I know it's hard to see anything in ultrasounds, but here you can see his head, nose, mouth, chin and little hand there on the right

Yesterday I had an ultrasound to check and see if our little baby boy is growing properly and to give the doctor a better idea when he should join our family! (The last ultrasound I had done he was measuring two weeks earlier, so my doctor was hesitant to deliver too early.) So after having the ultrasound everything looks great! He is right on track where he should be. The technician said our baby weighed about 3 lbs which is exactly what he should be at right now. He said if he gains 1/2 lb a week from now to delivery day he will be around 8 lbs when he's born, which would be perfect! The funniest part about the ultrasound was when he was checking everything out on the baby and found his little tummy. He started to laugh and said "Look at the rolls on that kid! He's already chubby!" Oh great! He's taking after his big brother! Although if you knew Ty as a baby he really wasn't chubby around his tummy--it was all in his cheeks! In the ultrasound the baby looked just like Ty, but maybe all babies look the same on the ultrasound screen! All I know is I can hardly wait for our chubby little guy to come to our family!

I am so excited for him to arrive and to hold him. It is wonderful that ultrasounds are available and can tell you so much about an unborn baby.

We are used to fat babies so he will fit right in the family. I can't think that he won't have cheeks.

We are wondering about his name, and hope you will soon decide. Until then he is baby Lewis to me but Harvey to Blake. I think you had better choose another name before Blake sticks him with Harvey.

Good luck with your Y.W.'s program. They are always a worry, but the girls will come thru.
