Ryan and I went to our 28 week check up and ultrasound on 9/16. It was so neat to see how big Casey has gotten, and boy is he big! He is topping the charts at 99% on stomach size, 97% on leg bone length and he weighs 3.5 pounds! The average is 2.5 pounds, and the Dr was laughing quite a bit at just how big he is. He said our ultrasound at 10 weeks puts the estimated due date as correct, otherwise he would have moved the due date up several weeks! I was quite terrified, as he said he is on track to be nearly 10 pounds at birth, but he did assure me they will monitor his growth by ultrasound, and his lung function, so its quite possible they will induce me several weeks early! His heartbeat was 144, and everything looked good. I failed my 1 hour glucose test for gestational diabetes, but passed the 3 hour test, so no diabetes for me!
This weekend I stayed at Shauna's house and got to visit with my all 3 of my cute nephews! I also got to see my Aunt Barb from Tennessee, who I haven't gotten to see in several years! We had a big family dinner at my parents Saturday night, definitely always fun. I brought my 3-D ultrasound pictures, my Mom thinks Casey's profile looks like me, lucky kid!

Big boys are the best?!? Hopefully it was just a really quick growth spurt and he'll be a little gentleman and slow down a bit for ya =-).
