The latest appointments

I will add the ultrasound pictures later but I'm at work and don't have access to them on this computer...
Quick update -- the placenta hasn't moved away from the cervix...which is kind of a bummer...
But the biggest news is HOW BIG he is -
his current estimated weight is 6 lbs. 5 oz!
And babies are supposed to gain about 1/2 pound a week...so you can imagine that he might be a giant baby...

So I'm scheduled for yet another ultrasound in three weeks (August 5th) to check and see how his growth is and if the placenta has moved (not extremely likely but worth checking it out again).

The 3D pictures were ok - but he wasn't very cooperative this round. He had his face buried against the wall most of the time. But you can see his chubby cheeks - Barbara, my favorite ultrasound tech kept commenting how round and juicy his cheeks were! It was funny.
No decision was made - more of a "wait and see" sort of approach.

Oh, my mom made her reservations - she will be here from August 23rd until September 13th - we talked about the possibility of him coming a bit earlier than expected so it made sense for her to just be here. My dad plans on coming out for a couple weeks after that then Christyl and her son, Junah will be visiting Oct. 8th for a week! It'll be great to be able to spend time with my family and friends after he gets here....

My friend Sarah calls him "no name" baby koontz!
I still like the names Sidney, Desmond and Theodore. But everyone has opposing views (what one person likes, someone else doesn't). I will stand firm on waiting until I see him and hang out with him a bit before deciding what name he is.
Any and all suggestions are still welcome!
