I’m interrupting the Bali posts to do a bambino update since we had our last appointment with our fantastic doctor in Bangkok yesterday morning.
I had another ultrasound, which confirmed that our little dude is indeed a bit above average in size, however, not as gigantic as I thought he might be. Since my last appointment, where I was measuring a little large for 28 weeks, my subconscious has clearly been concerned about this since I’ve had more than a couple of dreams that he was born at 10+ lbs. I also had a nagging and, yes, slightly irrational concern that somehow during the previous 2 ultrasounds and numerous regular appointments they may have missed that another baby was in there or that my due date was off by a few weeks. Whew! Neither is the case. He’s measuring more in the late 32 week averages rather than early 31, but my doctor assured me that all is well and since Corey and I are giants (especially on Thai standards), he’s growing as he should be.
Our little guy's profile
We also did another photo shoot of me this past week to document the progress of my increasing waistline. In order of increasing body exposure:
Yay! I’m glad everything is going well! I think his profile looks like Corey with a hint of Mr. Burns from the Simpsons.
You look great by the way! (That was my favorite prego shirt.)
Haha! I think he looks like Corey, too. This seems to concern Corey, but I think it’s nice! The Mr. Burns resemblance is perhaps even more pronounced since his hands are up by his face as if he were saying “Excellent”
