Baby Hickok Weighing In!

Today John and I headed off to our weekly doctor visit. Usually John doesn't go, but today was special because I was scheduled to have an ultrasound. When we got in the room the ultrasound tech asked me if I knew why I was having an ultrasound. I thought it was her job to know that info. Of course I didn't say that I just told her the doctor wants to check the baby's size. She informed me that we probably wouldn't be able to see much because at this point he is big-no kidding I thought. That is why I am here in the first place.

She flipped on the machine and began rolling the joystick thing around my stomach. It was hard to distinguish what we were looking at, but when she switched it to 3D his face became clear. He is so cute if I must say. He has really chubby cheeks and the cutest lips. I still think he looks like John. Of course he had his fingers in his mouth which is what he is usually doing with them when we have an ultarsound. He looked content in there almost like he has no intention of coming out anytime soon.

After she completed the measurements she said, "Well it looks like your going to have a big boy." According to the measurements he is 7lbs and 6oz but these ultrasound instruments are not always accurate so I hear.

My visit wasn't over with that. I still had to face the sugar nazi. For those of you who don't know who that is, it is my doctor. You can probably guess what she said when she arrived in the room. She reminded me to not eat sugar. I am not sure if she thinks I sit on the couch all day and eat Hershey kisses and bags of Skittles, but I humored her and smiled and said of course doctor no more sugar. Whatever!!

She still didn't bother to check to see if I was dilated so I have no idea how we are doing in that department, but I do have an appointment next week with a different doctor. I will be planting my feet in the stirrups and will refuse to leave until somebody tells me if I am dilated.

So we will see how things go next week. I will keep you posted.
