He Turned!

Our little guy is so talented already... He managed to turn in his cramped quarters and is ready for his exit! Now if we can only get the little wiggle worm to stay that way. :) Everything checked out good too, measurements, heartbeat, and of course his cuteness. He was measuring a little bigger than normal for his due date but not enough to change it sooner... darn. His head was measuring bigger than the rest of his body too (not his fault, both Ryan and I have huge heads), which is good because he'll be so brainy, but bad for mommy for the sake of his exit :) We were excited too because Rory and Rita got to come to this ultrasound and see lil Bryson in action. He was definitely showing his Nana and Pop how much he could wiggle. I loved being able to share this experience with the grandparents... and especially can't wait to share him with the world!

Here are the pictures from our visit:

Nana and Pop ready to see another cute grandson!

In the process of kicking me I'm sure :)

Cute little pouty lips

We always have to check to make sure he's still a boy... no mistake about it!

I don't like this angle, it looks like he's lurking in the darkness, but it shows his lips and nose from the front (not a very flattering angle)

There he is! What a cutie-pie!

Sidenote:

The doc also told me that I have a lot of amniotic fluid so if my water breaks, its going to be a waterfall! LOL I think I may start carrying a towel around with me. :)

2 More Months...

We are getting very excited around here as Bryson's arrival gets closer and closer. On Monday we will have our last big ultrasound (hopefully) to get all his measurements and see if he's turned yet. He's definitely been a little wiggle worm so hopefully he's managed to get himself turned around and ready by now.


The seventh month has been great. No big changes, except my tummy growing and growing. I get out of breath easily and I've noticed my hands swell when I'm doing something active. (All of which I'm told is normal)


Here is my 7th month belly pic:




I'm not sure if that shirt will make it to the end. LOL


Yesterday I made a list of stuff I need to do before he gets here... it is definitely my nesting list because it included things like clean the carpets, ceiling fans, etc. Ryan makes fun of me and promises Bryson won't care about how clean our baseboards are, he'll just be happy to have room to move.


We also started our birth classes this past week. They will last all of February and Ryan is very excited about it (sarcasm). Our first class was interesting, I enjoyed meeting the other couples and hearing some of their preggo stories. Its also funny watching my husband try to last 3 hours of class. When our teacher told us to make our "nest" with our mats and pillows, all the other husbands helped their wives and then sat in the chair beside them. Not my husband. He made sure he had his own nest also on the floor so he could be comfortable too. LOL And when the teacher turned the lights out to watch the movie, my husband got even more comfortable on the ground by completely laying down. But don't worry I know he was paying attention because when the lights came back on he was white as a ghost after seeing a baby AND placenta being birthed. The whole experience has been priceless so far.

Here is a picture of Ryan ready to go to his first class :)





Well, 2 more months... better get to cleaning/organizing the house :)
