Ultrasound SOON!!!

Hey All,

So we went to the doctor's today hoping to persuade him to do an ultrasound today... no luck... BUT we do get to have one in three weeks!

We went in and waited in the stinking room for almost two hours because the doctor got called away to deliver another baby. Courtney gained only one pound over the past month (which is not great...) and only three pounds overall. Dr. Ellis did say though that her health is great and that the baby is growing so there doesn't seem to be much to worry about even if Court doesn't gain much weight.

He said that for how far along she is the uterus should be at the belly button. He felt the belly button and then felt higher, and higher, and higher and a look of surprise went across his face. She is measuring about three inches above the belly button. He immediately said that we would do an ultrasound next time. He said that she is measuring very big for her dates and so he wouldn't be too surprised at all if the dates were off. Meaning it is looking more and more like the baby is going to be an August baby.

Anyway, things are good and we'll hopefully know the gender in three weeks!
