Robert and I checked several things off the “to do” list this weekend. Not the least of which was getting the car seat installed! Once these two Master’s degree educated individuals finally figured out how to get the seat off the base (I won’t tell you how long that took!) it was actually really easy to get into the car thanks to the fact that our cars both have a latch system. The seat is in my car and the extra base is in Robert’s car so BBB can easily ride wherever he wants! Glad we got it done…now the hospital will let us bring him home!
Everything’s in 3D these days…
On June 26, at 31 weeks, Robert and I had the opportunity to do one of those 3D ultrasounds. They actually call it 4D but that seems silly to me so we’ll stick with 3D. Luckily, BBB decided to be super cooperative (which I’m hoping is an indication of how he’ll be as a newborn!) and turned his little head and body at just the right angles for some great pictures!
Warning – some of you might find these pictures a little “freaky”…but I guess that’s appropriate for Friday the 13th, right! 🙂
When his image first appeared on the screen all I could say was “Oh my goodness, Robert! It’s your mini-me!” His little button nose, full lips and round cheeks are undeniably Robert! See?
BBB then proceeded to have fun with us and open one eye….
and open his mouth…I think he was trying to say “Hi Mom!”…
and then he got feisty and stuck his tongue out at us!
He thought he was real funny and smiled at us.
And, good news! He’s at least got one of these…
and one of these…
Phew!
It really was incredible to see these and know what this little guy looks like (sorta) already. We are SO ready to meet him and squeeze on those round cheeks!!
I hope everyone has a great weekend! I think I’m going to lay around and try to stay out of the heat! and maybe eat some good Mexican food too! 🙂
BBB!
Now everyone should be caught up on how we got to where we are. Happily married with a baby on the way! Let’s meet Baby Boy Brown, aka BBB!
8 Weeks
12 Weeks
17 weeks – it’s a BOY!
and 36 weeks! Almost there!
At the 36 week appointment last week on Tuesday, August 3, they estimated BBB to be 6 lbs, 5 ounces! My doctor is guessing he’ll be around 7.5 lbs when he arrives. Sounds perfect to me! Now it’s just a waiting game to see when he decides he’s ready. I’m personally hoping he’ll hold out for another 3 weeks because I’d really like a September baby. No real reason why…September just seems right to me. If only it was up to me!
