It's a........

Baby giant?? I had my "big" ultrasound yesterday and this baby is measuring about 1 week ahead of my due date & even a little "chubby" at that (10 oz)! The tech asked me how big my biggest baby was & when I told her 8 lbs, she kinda paused...then we told her our 8 pounder was a month early! She kinda laughed and then didn't say anything else. I'll be sure to thank my husband (who was a 10 lb, 4 oz baby) this October when I give birth to this giant without an epidural!

Other than this baby being "impressive" in size, everything else looked great! We saw the face, belly, heart, hands, feet, liver, lungs...all that cool stuff! We brought McKenna with us to the ultrasound, and she thought that it was so cool to see the "baby x-ray's".

Oh, and we saw one other thing too............................................

IT'S A BOY!

We are thrilled that Channy will finally get the brother he has been asking for! It will also be kinda fun to have two of each, since we are really, REALLY done after this baby. Oh, and just in case you are wondering, this baby will continue to be called "baby" until after it's birth since my husband seems to have some sort of baby naming aversion that causes him to act juvenile when the mention of naming our child comes up. He pretty much mocks the naming process by offering suggestions like "Larry, Daryl, and Daryl", "Stevie Ray", "Cletus", and "Percival". He does this every single time we have a baby! Unfortunately, this will most likely continue until the hospital hands us the birth certificate papers and makes us fill them out! So, wish us luck on the whole "naming" thing...because we are gonna need it!

This is me a few days ago, at 18 weeks :-).
