Healthy Baby

Can you see Jace's face?

Today was our 3rd Trimester Scan and we have been assured that Jace is a boy FOR SURE!
This was done to check if Jace was in fact head down and to get an estimate of his size.

They looked at vital organs and said he looked PERFECT!
WE knew from the anatomy scan at 20 weeks that Jace was looking to be a big baby. He was in the 87th percentile then.
This time he looked to be already 6lbs 8 oz! We still have 4 more weeks to go!!
From here on out he can gain 1/2 to 1 pound a week. That could put him as an 8 1/2 to 10 pound baby at full term.
We go back to the doctor on Tuesday and we will see what she thinks about his size.
I don't think I should attempt to deliver a big baby then end up having to have a c-section. I really would like to avoid that any way I can.

If you can't see the face in the first picture - I have explained it in the picture below :)

We even got to see his tiny fist and foot!

It is so funny how squished in there he is.
The ultrasound can only show parts of him - MUCH different from the 20 week anatomy scan!
