Well Nathaniel is 5 pounds 14 oz right now. He should be born around 7 pounds. This is back in line with the ultrasound 2 times ago (about 8 weeks ago).

According to this chart he will be a bit above average. Not huge like his brother! We will have to see though. He is head down (again unlike his brother) and he didn’t have his feet by his head this time! So I guess he will not be born with feet and head together! And he isn’t stuck! Everything looks good though.My OB appointment this morning also went well. I will see her in a VERY long day next week. I have to see her, then take Max to VBS, then go to a dentist appointment for Max all in one day. I think at that point I just take a nap for the rest of the day! My next appointment is Friday when I see the cardiologist and get his blessing. Hopefully I will find out the results the same day with that appointment. Well I need to get back to sewing. Max wants his backpack soon.
