Ultra Sound at 34 weeks

So today was my ultra sound since I was measuring big last time, which it seems like I say that every time I go to the doctor. Anyways, it is always fun to see him. You could tell that he was a little chubby thing :) His little profile was so cute and she didn't even take a picture of it for us :(  she thought she did and then after she was done, she felt bad that she had not. He was measuring on the ultra sound around 36 and 36 1/2 weeks, which was 6 1/2 pounds. At 34 weeks he should be almost 5 pounds. The ultra sound technician was laughing and saying things like "Look at that belly, look at those cheeks! oh it looks like he has a lot of hair. She said he was already storing up his baby fat in the belly and she said his cheeks looked like a squirrel saving up for winter with nuts in his cheeks". It was fun to watch him. After she saw how big he was-she said "you are all belly girl". That was nice to hear since everyone tells me how huge I am all the time. Now I can say I have a reason, I have a big boy in me!
It gets a little more real every time we see him. The doctor said I look great and so does Cole. He was head down with a heart beat of 144. The technician said he would most likely stay in that position since he is so big. He is running out of room to move around. We are on his time, but I am really hoping he decides to come on his own around 37 or 38 weeks. I really want to try and have him naturally and if he goes full term and continues to grow the way he is that is not looking possible. Dr. Macey has already mentioned C-section could be a possibility, which I guess it always is, but he said as long as he is ok and I am ok, he will not induce just because the ultra sound is saying he is big. I guess we will just have to wait and see. I go back in two weeks, March 21st. Then I will go every week after that appointment. Whoo Hoo!!! I can't believe how close it all is; it is a little overwhelming. Something you have wanted and prayed so long for to be happening is just an amazing feeling. We truly have been blessed.
Look at this cute little outfit we got for him...
