Growing

This baby boy has grown. A lot. The evidence:

Exhibit A. 
Picture on the left: Me about 20 weeks pregnant. I felt like I had quite a little bump going then. My family was in town and my little brother even asked a few weeks after that, "are you going to get any bigger, because I don't think you can". Oh the encouraging words of children.

Picture on the right: Me now at 33 weeks pregnant. Apparently the answer to my brother's question is yes I will get bigger and yes I can get bigger. Which makes me a little scared for the next seven weeks. 

Exhibit B.
20 week ultrasound



Compared to now at 33 weeks...
Although he was measuring big at my last ultrasound, he is right on track now and weighs about 5 pounds. I know ultrasound measurements aren't all that accurate for weight, it makes me feel better that he is nice and average sized, considering my mom and sister had big, not-so-average sized babies.

And my very favorite ultrasound picture we have had...
Yes, our baby is giving us the star trek sign with his hand in the top right portion of the picture. The technician said she had never seen a baby do this. Well, live long and prosper, baby. Keep growing the next 7 weeks and please, please do not grow up to be a Trekkie.
