Baby Boys

We had our 3D Ultrasound today. The placenta was in the way and covered up part of the baby's face but we still managed to get some good pictures. The ultrasound tech said he estimates this baby is a little over three pounds and a little longer than 13 inches. He was shocked when I told him how far along I was and insisted that either my dates are wrong or this is just a really big baby. He estimates the baby will weigh between 8.5-9 pounds when he's born and will be around 19 inches (short and fat, just like Colby) I am trying not to panic about having the baby early and just trust that God will make him come when it's time. Thank you to everyone who came today! It was so nice to see you all!
I wanted to compare them to Colby's so here they are...

New Baby boy parts (he's being somewhat shy but you get the idea)
Colby boy parts, not shy at all...

He looks a little like Colby but here is one thing we didn't see on Colby's ultrasound...HAIR!!! From the looks of it this baby has more hair on his head than Colby has now. And, I heard that babies who have a lot of hair are usually dark haired because the hair growth stage is different versus blonde babies. SO....there's a chance this baby might actually look like me!

I am so happy that you got this ultrasound! He is adorable. And I think he looks a lot like the ultrasound of Colby. It would be fun though if he had dark hair like his mama :)
