I may give birth to a Foot Ball Player!

This is a baby update, for anyone who is interested. I just had a check up today and found out that my baby is measuring 3 weeks bigger than he should be... No surprise there right? So I guess I'll have to get my butt in gear a little faster and make room for this kiddo.

If it makes you feel any better, Zachary (and Christopher) measured 10 weeks further along. I had several ultrasounds to rule out cists of any kind, I had ultrasounds to check for twins, I had tons of blood sugar tests (the good kind were you have your blood drawn, and then go eat breakfast... no nasty glucose water), and in the end the doc just decided that he would be a big baby.

Labor was all natural and fast (less than 2 hours) and all was well. BUT-- If you have a chance and are not opposed, GET AN EPIDURAL!!

When I lamented to my doctor about having a moose of a child, his response was "don't worry, bigger babies always sleep better than the little ones." All my kids have been pretty good sized and they have all be very good sleepers. So, while he may be a football star later, here's hoping you too get a sleepy little baby. =)

I am not a newbie at this big baby thing. K (my first) was 11 lbs and 23 1/2 inches long. And I went natural. O was my smallest at 9lbs 6oz. They were all natural. So I guess that if he comes out a football player I should be used to it by now, but none of them ever measured this much farther along this soon. K was my biggest and worst sleeper, she just needed to eat more often than the others I think.

It's from all that southern food you've been eating lately! BTW . . . I think Bubba is a good name for the baby. :)

Love your vacay details of the south... must get some bbq soon! (Although, I do love me some Basque food, and that's only a drive down the mountain!)

Good luck with with your gigantic baby! :) You are a very tall girl, so you have lots of room in there for him to grow. I called you "girl"... does that make you feel young? Hey, I'm just here to help...

Thanks Karrie, that did make me feel better since at every turn during this pregnancy people are always reminding me that I'm "older now". YUCK!

Julie, I think you are right about the food not the name. Although K does call C "Buboos" it's pretty cute.

My sister is measuring almost 3 weeks small- it's her first. We blame it on my brother in law's tiny little legs.
He'll be a cutie, just like his brother, I'm sure.

I seemed to measure bigger and bigger with each child. Each child was alittle bigger as well. I just hope for you that lil man is a good sleeper!! After several years of good sleep it is interesting going back.......but worth it of course! I can't stinkin' wait for this lil man to be born!! No pressure! LOL :-)

Today we went to our new ward.  We still have one more week in our current ward but we just wanted to check it out, get our faces known, and possibly drum up some help to unload a moving truck in a couple weeks. Can I just say it was amazing!  We've been to this ward before when Chris was on the High Council so there were a few familiar faces.  That wasn't the amazing part... For the last 2 1/2 years Chris has struggled going to church.  The first year was due to the fact that he was in the hospital and fighting for his life and was unable to physically attend.  Frankly the whole family struggled that year and we stayed home for months because it was too painful to go.  The last year and a half Chris has struggled due to anxiety and panic about church.  He still has a testimony and loves the Gospel, he helps get the kids ready for church and attends when he can but for the most part I'm a single mom when it comes to church attendance.  He cann...

34 Reasons Why I Love You

Today is Chris Birthday! I'm awful about making plans and doing things for him so this year I have tried my best to be better. We are having a small party if you will , with some friends tonight and having his favorite apple cake with caramel topping. I also wanted to give him a little extra and thought I needed to publicly share some of the reasons why I love him. I'm not big on PDA , public displays of affection not the little handheld computer he carries around. So this is very different for me. 34 Reason Why I love You... 34. You like the same TV shows I do 33. If you don’t like the TV show you watch it anyway 32. You are a great Dad 31. You take care of me when I’m sick (even though I’d rather disappear when you are sick) 30. You are very tidy (OK I’m not) 29. You love my cooking 28. If you don’t love my cooking you are kind about it 27. You can cook 26. You support me in my calling no matter how many nights I’m gone, and it's a lot. 25. You encourage me to go t...

Sometimes life changes and we are all trying to catch up

From day one I could tell there was something different about L...he is my 4th child and right from the start I could tell.  I didn't know I could tell.  I knew he was different from my other kids but I didn't have a clue as to why, or what our future would bring. L was my most sweet baby.  All babies are sweet you say, all babies are different.  I know all babies are sweet but I mean this baby was SWEET.  He slept through the night almost from day one, to a mom 6 hours is like an eternity so I'm calling it through the night.  He rarely cried.  When he did and all the normal boxes were checked, feeding, changing, hot/cold, he just wanted to be left alone.  He would lay for hours on the floor on a blanket and watch life happen.  Then he would just fall asleep and take a nap and it was wonderful.  Being a mom of many kiddos it was like this baby was sent to me on purpose to make it easy.  Usually I have a baby and think "I'm not eve...
