Dr. Appointment

Hi Elijah!
Well, you held up your end of the deal today in the pictures and receiving a clean bill of health so I won't call you turd anymore. I also won't pick on you anymore to take good photos until you pop out. And, finally, you are not banned from hanging out with Baby Jake - you did not flip us off. :)

The dr. said all looks good & you are still sewn in there nice and tight. You are measuring a bit big on all of your measurements. Your big old knocker head is about 2-3 weeks bigger than you should be. That is a bit of a cause for alarm for your dear old mom given that we have to think about that knocker head passing through during labor. :) You are 1 oz shy of 5 lbs. I think it is also a bit big for your ripe old age of 32 weeks. We will have to keep an eye on that.

Your ultrasound tech said you have a nice head of thick hair. Thank goodness for your dad's genes to give you that head of hair. If you got it from your mom's sides of the family, you would have 3 strands when you pop out. You gave us some really good photos today and I think you look really similar to your cousin Tyler. That is a good thing - your cousin Tyler is a cutie. Remember me telling you how he can wrap me around his fingers with just smiling at me? Yep, I think that is going to be you.

Your mom put on her best oscar winning performance and wore the doctor down into giving us 2 hours off work a day. Then, the rug was ripped out from under me and I found out that I would not be paid for it. So, we are back to 8 hours a day. Let me tell you kiddo - it is no fun having the rug ripped out from under you when you are so filled with glee that you will get nap time. Speaking of nap time, you are on a definite bender. It is now 5:15 and you have been constantly moving since about 9 last night. CONSTANTLY. We have had a rough night :)

Well, little one, I will leave you with your latest photos and a plea for us to get a good night's sleep. Good job at the doctor today buddy and we will see you in 2 weeks.


Is it too soon for your mom to be hopeful that there are signs of a Lang butt chin in these photos?


I found this photo after I emailed all of your family. I happened to look at it a second time and saw that you were sticking out your tongue at me. I went and watched the video and I can see you open and close your mouth then stick out your tongue. :) While that is really cute right now, don't expect me to think it is cute when you are here live and lipping off. haha.
