We had an ultrasound today to check on this new baby's size, and he's a big guy like his brother!  At 33 weeks and 5 days, he is estimated to already weigh 6 pounds 12 ounces.  Yikes!  That's 2 and a half pounds bigger than "average" at this point and we have 6-ish weeks to go.  He could easily be bigger than Owen at birth (9lbs, 12oz).  All of the measurements had this kid being at least a week or two bigger than his gestational age, but his head is measuring 4 weeks ahead.  Ouch!  We'll be discussing our options with our doctor next week, but I'm still hoping to try a VBAC.  I guess part of that will be based on when Number Two decides to come.
Here are a few pictures from today.  The tech did a "4D" ultrasound, but it was hard to get a face shot since he has his head buried in the placenta in my pelvis.  Oh well...we'll see him for sure in December (or November?).
