Oh My.

I went today for an ultrasound at our local junior college. They offer scans so that the students can practice, so of course I signed up! I just laid there for about an hour looking at my sweet boy! The instructor kept coming over and telling me how "beautiful" his heart is. It made me smile. I already knew our man had a beautiful heart, but knowing that it's beautiful physically too makes it that much better!

Everything is measuring right on track (which makes me hopeful for the results of my glucose test from yesterday). Everything, that is, except for his HEAD!! Oh my gosh it's HUGE! His abdomen measured a little under 28 weeks (which is a little smaller than expected) and his head is measuring almost 31 weeks!! Yikes. And he still has 12 more weeks to grow!

His little ears also stick out and he has quite a bit of hair on that big ol' head. I told the girl doing my scan that he was probably going to look just like his daddy. When I texted Clayton after I left he said, "Yep, JUST like his daddy!" Clayton's head was huge when he was a kid.

The scan ended up being about an hour and I loved getting to just sit there and watch him! He is transverse now (sideways) so I guess he is slowly making his way to being head down. I didn't really get to see his face because he slept through most of it and had one of his arms over his face. He lays just like I do! I always have one arm above my head. It is so neat to be able to see the things that he does that are already so similar to things that Clayton and I do. I am so in love!
