Quick Baby Update

Hi Everyone!

Good news! Baby Lucas is doing AWESOME! We got in for our second sonogram yesterday and it looks like he is doing great! In fact, he is weighing in at 5 pounds 8 ounces and is in the 75th percentile for his age! So he is big! His head is also big! His head is measuring at 36 weeks and 6 days, and I am at 32 weeks and 6 days! CRAZY! Let's hope his body keeps up!

While his head is measuring at 36 weeks, his femur which is the most accurate measurement is coming in right at 32 weeks and 6 days so it looks like he is doing just perfectly as far as growth. So now I can confidentially say, YES! I HAVE ONLY GAINED 3 POUNDS!!! BUT MY BABY IS A BIG BOY AND IS DOING JUST FINE!!! Haha! Hooray!

Calen was there with me of course, and it was so fun because he got to hear the heart beat for the first time. It really is an unreal experience when you hear that little heart goin. I wish I could have gotten Calen's face on camera. So sweet. AND, we got to see that cute little face of his! Check out the chunker cheeks on this kid! I can't wait to squeeze them!

Just to help those of you out who are not inclined to looking at sonograms... OH! And PS, if you haven't figured this out already, if you click on the picture, it will make it larger!


And now the cute one!


Don't these pictures just make you love him even more! I know that Calen and I are deeply falling in love with this baby who isn't even here yet. I cannot even begin to imagine how great it is going to feel holding that little one--or maybe chunky one for the first time! Thanks everyone for your support and prayers! We love you!

Love,

Kendall, Calen, and Big Head Baby C
