Preparing

We have finally begun preparing a bit more for baby. I guess there is no way around the fact that we have mere weeks left until he is here. We got some mixed news from the Dr this week. Mixed because I am horrified and Casey is pleased. Apparently we are going to have quite the big boy. With 7 weeks left, baby is already 5 lbs. I'm anything but excited (not hard to figure out why) and Casey has visions of a son who can hold his own on the sports fields.

And here is a taste of Casey playing daddy. Thanks to my awesome mom for the carrier/stroller!

haha.. wow, 5 lbs! And they are supposed to gain a lb. a week at the end, right? Maybe he'll be coming early then?? Just remind Casey that Kent was a big baby boy, but he still ended up thin.. the only way he is big is in his height. I hope for your sake that he doesn't get way too big.

Wow. that is big for your current week... maybe you're little man will be born in January instead of February... :-)

Ro weighed weighed 6.0 lbs when he was born at full term.

Don't let Brittney fool you, I'm a Fat Daddy. I just wear thinning clothes because I'm self conscious about my weight.

Can't wait til you're little Refrigerator Perry 2 shows up!

That picture is so funny! That's something that Will would do and probably has done.

Ah, no worries. My babies were all big at that time and then didn't gain as much at the end as they predicted. You'll be fine. Epidurals are great, no matter the size of the baby!

I am a jerk and couldn't come to your shower. I had a photo shoot scheduled; so sorry. Are you ready? What is your status? I hope you are fine.
